NBC Universal TV Studio Names President

Veteran NBC programming executive Angela Bromstad has been named president of NBC Universal Television Studio, the General Electric Co. unit announced this week.

For the last year, Bromstad served as co-president with David Kissinger as the two merged NBC’s studio with Universal’s larger operation after NBC’s acquisition of Vivendi Universal’s entertainment properties. Kissinger, who ran Universal’s TV studio for more than five years, stepped down to become president of comedian Conan O’Brien’s firm Conaco Productions.

NBC Universal Television Studio produces several shows for NBC, including “Will & Grace” and Dick Wolf’s three “Law & Order” dramas as well as “Monk” for USA Network and “House” for Fox Broadcasting Co.
