BURBANK/UNIVERSAL CITY � February 14, 2008 -- NBC has realigned its current series program department as Teri Weinberg, Executive Vice President, NBC Entertainment, will expand her role overseeing development to now include all current series programs. As a result, Jeff Ingold, Senior Vice President, Comedy Development, NBC Entertainment, and Katie O'Connell, Senior Vice President, Drama Development, NBC Entertainment, will oversee current programming in their respective areas, with both reporting to Weinberg.

Erin Gough Wehrenberg, who was Executive Vice President, Current Series, NBC Entertainment, will move into a new role at Universal Media Studios as Executive Vice President, overseeing network development and current programming. She will be second in command at the studio and will report to Katherine Pope, President, Universal Media Studios. Gough Wehrenberg arrives at the studio at a time of exponential growth, with dozens of scripted programs both on the air and in development.

The announcements were made today by Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios.

Said Silverman: "As part of our goal to become a lean, efficient organization for the 21st century, we've decided to more closely align current programming and development. As we start to develop scripted programs all year round, this new organization will help link all our resources so we can have a greenhouse of creativity at NBC Universal. We're proud of these executives who have made great contributions to our company and we look forward to many more successes together."

"I have great confidence in Katie and Jeff as they step into these expanded, key positions," said Weinberg. "They both have trusted relationships with talent on NBC's development and current series. I'm extremely excited about the future of this new structure and these well-deserved promotions."

"Erin has always been a passionate champion of quality shows and show-runners on behalf of the NBC Network," said Pope. "We're all incredibly lucky to have that passion, intelligence and guidance now on the studio side."

The moves pave the way for more streamlined development and programming of the company's shows. One executive will be associated with a TV program from inception through its life on NBC.
