Tannenbaum steps into the role left vacant after Colin Davis’ move to Sony Pictures Television as EVP of Comedy Development. Tannenbaum was previously head of Alternative Originals and will now oversee all original programming for the service. He will report directly to David Eilenberg, who was recently named VP and head of content at Roku Media.

Lydia Antonini, who was previously Head of Creative Affairs, has taken on an expanded role as head of Scripted Originals and Olivia LaRoche has been promoted to head of Alternative Originals. Both will now report to Tannenbaum.
