Longtime ‘Dateline’ Exec Producer David Corvo To Exit Franchise At Year’s End
deadline.comDavid Corvo, considered the driving force behind Dateline, NBC’s top-rated and longest-running primetime series, is stepping down as Senior Executive Producer at the end of the year.
He will remain with NBC News as an adviser on various projects, reporting to Rebecca Blumenstein, President of Editorial at NBC News.
Corvo will be passing the torch to Liz Cole, President of NBC News Studios and executive producer of Dateline. Corvo and Cole “have worked together to make Dateline the gold standard in true crime reporting, and successfully expanded it from the network to broadcast and cable syndication, to its streaming channel Dateline 24/7, and to audio where it consistently tops Apple’s podcast charts,” Blumenstein said in a note to NBC staffers announcing Corvo’s pending departure.
Cole began her career at NBC as a page, rising to Executive Producer of Dateline. Cole will remain President of NBC News Studios, which under her leadership has produced acclaimed documentaries and series such as The Disappearance of Shere Hite, Every Body and Leguizamo Does America, as well as the first NBC News scripted series, The Thing About Pam.
