CBS’s Jack Sussman is stepping down from his role as head of specials, music and alternative programming as he transitions into executive producing the Tony Awards and Kennedy Center Honors.
After 25 years at CBS, Sussman will remain tied to the broadcast network as he represents CBS as an EP for the awards shows. On Wednesday, he thanked CBS president and CEO George Cheeks and CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach for the opportunity in an internal memo.
“After 25 years, I’ve decided to step away from my executive role leading CBS Specials, Music and Alternative programming,” Sussman wrote in the memo to staff, which was obtained by TheWrap.
