When it comes to building or rebranding a network, Berwick’s track record speaks for itself. Whether it’s Bravo Media, E! Entertainment, Oxygen Media or newly rebranded Universal Kids, Berwick knows what these very different audiences want, and she always delivers. Part of that comes from the fact that she listens to other people’s opinions, and the rest comes from her impeccable instincts, including the move to transition Oxygen into an all-crime destination.
