Lifetime scored big when it landed Liz Gateley, a producer and development veteran behind MTV’s brand-defining reality series “The Hills” and “Jersey Shore.”
The cable net named Gateley executive vice president in charge of programming in April, marking her return to the network where she started her career in 1997.
Now as she settles into the position, Gateley told TheWrap about her desire to push the envelope while maintaining the trust of a fiercely loyal audience — one she says has graduated from her flagship slate at MTV.
“What’s so great about coming back is [General Manager] Rob Sharenow and the entire team have done such an amazing job making the network more youthful,” she said.
