Frances Berwick
President, Lifestyle Networks, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment
Berwick oversees the daily operations for Bravo Media, E! Entertainment, Esquire Network, Oxygen Media and Sprout, the latter added to her portfolio this past February. During the past year she bolstered Bravo’s debut into the scripted space, with the second season launch of “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce” and the June 2016 season two premiere of the half-hour comedy “Odd Mom Out” — the highest-rated new series of the year for the network. In the next year, she’ll lead Oxygen’s new shows including “Last Squad Standing” and “The Battle of the Ex Besties,” as well as “Strut.” E! will get its second original scripted, “The Arrangement,” while Esquire will continue its momentum as a fast-growing network appealing to a higher-income, metropolitan male audience.
