Oprah Network Denies Talks with Outgoing CBS Exec
(New York Times) — Oprah Winfrey’s cable venture denied a report on Wednesday that it was in talks to hire Terry Wood, a television guru who groomed Phil McGraw, Rachael Ray and other stars of syndication. “Absolutely not true,” Christina Norman, the chief executive of OWN, said about the report in the New York Post, echoing a spokeswoman’s denial. Ms. Wood on Monday said that she was leaving her longtime job as the president of creative affairs and development for CBS Television Distribution. At CBS, she was instrumental in creating new daytime shows and managing the fortunes of franchises like “Entertainment Tonight” and “Judge Judy.” CBS said in a statement Monday that she had “helped define the current face of daytime television.”
