Matthew C. Blank, Chairman and CEO of Showtime Networks Inc. has appointed David Nevins as President of Entertainment at Showtime Networks.

Nevins will succeed Robert Greenblatt and report to Blank. He has served as President of Imagine Television since 2002.

Nevins as President of Entertainment at Showtime Networks will be responsible for developing, acquiring and supervising all aspects of programming for all of the Showtime Networks channels. He will be based in Los Angeles and begin his new position later this summer.

At Imagine, Nevins oversaw development and production and served as executive producer for all of the company’s television productions, including the Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning 24 and the critically acclaimed Friday Night Lights.

Blank said “I’m thrilled to welcome a creative executive of the caliber of David Nevins to our company. David’s career has been punctuated by genre-defining programming at every turn and has the perfect creative sensibility for Showtime Networks’ next exciting chapter.”

Nevins said “Showtime has shown a remarkably consistent ability to develop unique, signature shows with that rare combination of creative integrity and mass appeal- and frankly they do the kind of shows I like to watch. Matt and Bob have done this by creating a nurturing environment where the best creative talent can thrive. It’s exactly the same philosophy that we had at Imagine under Brian (Grazer) and Ron’s (Howard) leadership. Showtime is a place where quality wins and I’m excited to build on its legacy.”
