Sony TV’s Unscripted Chiefs Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman Exit in Studio Reorganization

Sony says consolidating the nonfiction unit under Katherine Pope will better align creative operations.

Overview

Chairman Keith LeGoy told staff that Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman will depart Sony Pictures Television to pursue a new entrepreneurial venture.
Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios, will expand her remit to oversee the nonfiction division alongside scripted and kids.
The nonfiction group, which previously reported directly to LeGoy, will be folded into Sony Pictures Television Studios.
The game-shows unit led by Suzanne Prete, including Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, will continue to report to LeGoy.
Deadline reports the executives are leaving with The Intellectual Property Corporation, while Sony emphasizes continued strength across labels such as Sharp Entertainment, Embassy Row, B17 Entertainment and 19 Entertainment.
