Last week, news broke that Andrea Wong, president and CEO of Lifetime Networks, will be stepping down from the job before her contract expires in April: Lifetime CEO Andrea Wong to step down.
Wong, who started as programming exec at ABC, took on Lifetime's reins in 2007 and is credited with transforming the once-frumpy cable network into a showcase for splashy shows like Project Runway and Drop Dead Diva.
Last year, however, Lifetime was consolidated into the A&E Television Networks group -- a shift that stripped Wong of some of her authority. So the move was kind of expected. More here: Lifetime president and CEO Andrea Wong exits.
