CEO of Sony Entertainment revamps TV division

Los Angeles

MICHAEL Lynton, chief executive of Sony Entertainment, revamped the studio's growing television division on Thursday, a move that will streamline operations and increase his personal oversight.

For more than 15 years, Sony Pictures Television, the maker of shows like Breaking Bad,The Goldbergs" and Shark Tank, has been run by Steve Mosko. But the studio and Mr Mosko parted ways on Wednesday - Mr Mosko has long been eager for expanded responsibilities - and he will not be replaced. Instead, five of Mr Mosko's lieutenants will now report directly to Mr Lynton.
