Levine oversees Bravo’s East and West Coast production teams and is responsible for the programming and production of all original series Her focus is on elevating Bravo’s commitment to delivering high-quality programming and maintaining the network’s top 10 cable ranking on the merits of 13 returning series including “The Real Housewives” franchise, and a batch of newcomers.
