James Goldston will replace Ben Sherwood as president of ABC News. The British-born Goldston is a network vet, having joined ABC in 2004. Since then, he's worked on "Nightline" and "Good Morning America," as well as serving as senior VP for content and development for ABC's news division.
Before joining ABC, Goldston headed up Britain's highly rated "Tonight with Trevor McDonald" as a producer and executive producer.
Sherwood is succeeding Ann Sweeney as co-chairman, Disney Media Networks, and president of the Disney/ABC Television Group.
Speaking of "GMA," ESPN's "Around the Horn" host Tony Reali has inked a new deal at ESPN — and is joining corporate sister show "GMA" as a contributor. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Reali's ESPN show, which is based in Washington, DC, will relocate to midtown (Times Square) later this year. Reali will appear as a "social media contributor" on "GMA's" " Social Square" segment.
Last week, "GMA" announced that "Live with Kelly and Michael" co-host Michael Strahan will appear on the morning several times a week, while continuing to co-host "Live" with Kelly Ripa.
Reali and Strahan fill the gender gaps created when Josh Elliott left for NBC Sports and Sam Champion headed to The Weather Channel to host "AMHQ."
Two screens and a stage
Starz will go the movie route — sort of — in "The Chair," its first original unscripted (read: reality) show, in which two filmmakers (Shane Dawson, Anna Martemucci), will compete with each other to bring a feature (using the same script) to the big screen. The winner snares $250,000. Zachary Quinto will serve as a mentor to both. The 10-part series, shot in Pittsburgh, premieres this fall.
Publicist by day, playwright by night: Syfy's communications director Gary Morgenstein's newest play, "The Anthem," will begin previews May 20 at The Lynn Redgrave Theatre (45 Bleecker St.), with music by Jonnie Rockwell and lyrics by Erik Ransom. It's an original musical inspired by Ayn Rand's classic novella, "Anthem" and is directed by Rachel Klein, with a cast featuring Ashley Kate Adams, Remy Zakan, Jason Gotay, Randy Jones and Jenna Leigh Green, among others.
Last, but not least . . .
Kathy Griffin and boyfriend Randy Bick were in the audience for Wednesday's taping of "Maury." Griffin is a huge fan of Maury Povich . . . Discovery's "Amish Mafia" snared a series-record 2.45 million viewers in its season finale Tuesday night . . . Wednesday night's episode of ABC Family's "Baby Daddy" (Tahj Mowry, Jean-Luc Bilodeau) climbed to a seven-week high in total viewers (924,000) and women 18-34 (298,000) . . . The complete "Hill Street Blues" series is out on DVD April 29 (34-DVD box set) from Shout! Factory.
