KATIE CONWAY PROMOTED TO EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF ROBIN ROBERTS PRODUCTION UNIT AT ABC NEWS STUDIOS

Conway Will Lead the Unit's Team Producing Unscripted Originals, Including Premium Feature Documentaries, Nonfiction Series and Primetime Specials for ABC, Disney+ and Hulu

Seven-time Emmy(R) Award winner Katie Conway has been promoted to executive producer of Robin Roberts' dedicated unscripted development and production unit at ABC News Studios, which creates premium feature documentaries, nonfiction series and primetime specials for ABC, Disney+ and Hulu.

Conway joined the unit in 2023 when it launched as a senior producer. In this elevated role, she will help lead the unit's creative focus and development, expanding its slate in pop culture, news and crime, with a strong emphasis on stories at the center of the cultural conversation. She will continue to be based in Los Angeles and will report to the head of ABC News Studios, Mike Kelley.

"Beyond being a home for me at ABC News Studios, this unit is special because of the kinds of stories we tell," said Roberts. "I've seen firsthand what it takes to turn these meaningful stories into powerful specials, series and documentaries, and no one approaches this work with greater instinct, care or talent than Katie Conway."

"This unit was born out of Robin's rare, unmistakable voice and brand of storytelling," said Kelley. "That sensibility is the engine behind the originals they'll produce, including the highly anticipated, single-subject biopics we'll announce later this year."

As senior producer, Conway played a critical role shepherding production of several notable primetime specials with global icons and newsmakers, including Kerry Washington, Gisele Bündchen and more, as well as timely news specials, including the Emmy-nominated special "Prisoner in Russia: The Brittany Griner Interview" and "Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After the Storm." Conway also produced the docu-style special "Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country" and the docuseries "Murder Has Two Faces," highlighting lesser-known cases that were overshadowed in the media.

Prior to joining the unit, Conway was a supervising producer at ABC News' "Good Morning America," leading booking and editorial coverage across breaking news, sports and entertainment.
