TBS Promotes Original Programming Execs Thom Hinkle and Jeniffer Kim
TBS has promoted two programming executives who have been instrumental in the Turner cabler’s hot streak with original series during the past two years.
Thom Hinkle has been upped to executive VP of original programming. Jeniffer Kim has advanced to senior VP of original programming. Both executives report to Brett Weitz, TBS’ exec VP of programming.
“Thom and Jen have had a tremendous impact on TBS’ success and I couldn’t imagine better partners, or a better team, in this business,” Weitz said. “Thom’s passion and instincts are second-to-none, and Jeniffer’s creativity and dedication continue to drive us forward. Everything they’ve dished out in the past two years has topped the charts and transitioned TBS into a comedy powerhouse.”
Weitz’s boss, TNT/TBS chief Kevin Reilly, praised Weitz and his team for having “simply crushed it” in the overhaul of TBS’ original programming strategy.
