Sinclair Broadcast Group is in talks to hire former Sony TV chairman Steve Mosko in an unspecified role, the Financial Times reported Sunday.
Mosko, who left Sony last June after 24 years, was credited with rebuilding Sony’s TV production, particularly with prime-time shows like AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” NBC’s “The Blacklist,” ABC’s “The Goldbergs” and Netflix’s “Bloodline.”
A Sinclair Broadcast Group spokesperson declined to comment; Mosko did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
The move signals Sinclair Broadcast’s possible interest in building up original programming in the wake of last month’s announcement of the $3.9 billion acquisition of Tribune Media.
