In a number of executive changes at NBC Entertainment and Universal Television, Bela Bajaria has been promoted to president of Universal Television.
Bajaria previously served as executive vice president of Universal Television.
As part of the executive shuffle, Tracey Pakosta, formerly executive vice president, comedy for Universal Television, will shift to executive vice president, comedy programming.
NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt hailed Bajaria’s “incredible job” thus far while announcing the changes.
“Bela has done an incredible job of starting a studio from scratch three years ago and launching a series of hits on programming services ranging from NBC and Fox to A&E and Netflix,” Greenblatt said.
