Elaine Frontain Bryant, Eli Lehrer Take On Expanded Roles at A+E Networks, As Amy Winter and Tanya Lopez Exit
variety.comBreAnna Bell A+E Networks has tapped Elaine Frontain Bryant and Eli Lehrer to take on expanded roles for the network as former Lifetime EVP and head of programming Amy Winter announced her exit on Wednesday.
Move is the latest in a series of consolidations in basic cable as the linear business faces continued declines. Winter joined Lifetime in 2020, having previously worked at Discovery and later Up TV as exec VP and GM.
At Lifetime, Winter filled a gig that had been vacant since Liz Gateley exited in 2018. Now that job will once again be retired as Frontain Bryant takes on oversight of all of Lifetime and LMN programming in addition to her current role overseeing original programming for the flagship A&E brand.
Winter revealed in a memo to staff that she’s “decided to embark on a new path” that will combine “my passion for the creative aspects of entertainment with the business side of our industry.” In the new roles, Frontain Bryant will now be executive vice president and head of programming genres for A&E, Lifetime and LMN.
