Change has been the norm at Viacom these days. Although BET was
identified by Bob Bakish as one of the conglomerate's six core brands,
the network will be moving forward without its longstanding programming
chief Hill, who is departing along with EVP/head of original
programming Zola Mashariki. Hill, who's been at BET since 1999
and known for his unfettered love of music, recently engineered the
network's move into more scripted content, including miniseries " The
Book of Negroes " and " Mandiba, " as well as a New Edition Biopic that
hit the ratings jackpot. Lee, who thanked Hill for " every awesome and
magical moment " he had at BET in her memo to staff, will continue
to lead the network into its next era, with a focus on brand-identifying
series and tentpole events.
Lee Q&A
What inspires you most about this industry? Reaching people
where they are and bringing them joy, information and inspiration. This
industry has the power to move the culture forward in so many ways
through artistry and storytelling, there is nothing else like it.
51. CONTEMPORARY GENIUS
Courteney Monroe
CEO
National Geographic Global Networks
Years in Cable: 19
Education: BA, Williams College; MBA, The Wharton School
With a new rebrand and commitment to go " further, " Monroe is steadily
upping the game-evolving Nat Geo from a nostalgic brand to a
contemporary story-telling hub while forging deeper ties with its parent
company. She's bet big on headline-grabbing, event programming
such as " Gender Revolution " with Katie Couric, " Before the Flood " and
" He Named Me Malala, " which punctuate a slate of trademark series
including the re-imagined " Explorer. " And this month marks a significant
milestone-the premiere of the network's first scripted series, Albert
Einstein treatment " Genius. "
