global marketplace," said Tony Optican, senior VP, scripted programming,
FMNA in making the announcement. "With our stable of scripted projects
continuing to grow, Holly's great instincts for strong material combined
with her extensive industry relationships make her ideally suited for

series, overseeing all scripted programming. She also worked at TLC,
Bull's Eye Entertainment and Reveille.
