EXCLUSIVE: Kelly Kahl, one of the longest-tenured and most respected top executives in broadcast TV, will leave his post as President of CBS Entertainment at the end of the year after 5½ years in his current role and 26 years total at the network.
George Cheeks, President & CEO, CBS and CCO, News & Sports, Paramount+, and Kahl just announced the departure internally in separate memos, copies of which were obtained by Deadline. The move is part of “a restructuring and streamlining of leadership at CBS Entertainment,” Cheeks said.
“Kelly is without peer in the broadcast television business,” Cheeks wrote in his note. “He is the architect of primetime schedules that have made CBS #1 for 19 of the last 20 seasons. He is the masterful and fearless scheduler who moved Survivor and CSI to Thursday, changing the landscape of that night after a decade of NBC dominance.”
Before taking on expanded responsibilities as President of CBS Entertainment in June 2017, Kahl oversaw scheduling for the network for 21 years. CBS has remained the most watched broadcast network for the past 14 seasons (and 19 of the last 20 seasons). It again is leading the pack this fall with 17 of the 25 most-watched entertainment programs of the season so far. Some of the hit series CBS added while Kahl was President of Entertainment included FBI and spinoffs FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International, The Equalizer, NCIS: Hawai’i, and new breakout Fire Country on the drama side as well as comedies The Neighborhood, Bob ♥ Abishola and Ghosts.
Some of the key scheduling moves he made in his previous role during a time where a scheduling decision could make or break a show, included moving Survivor and CSI to Thursday to successfully take on NBC’s Must See TV,
