ViacomCBS ANZ VP and Network 10 CEO Paul Anderson Steps Down

Network 10 Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and ViacomCBS Networks Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) Vice President (VP) Paul Anderson has stepped down from his position.


Paul Anderson, left, moved into a bigger remit with ViacomCBS in January

He will not be directly replaced, with Beverley McGarvey promoted to become chief content officer and Executive Vice President (EVP) across combined operations.

Anderson has been with Ten for 17 years and in the CEO role for almost five. He moved into the expanded role with ViacomCBS in January, expanding his position to include the title of executive vice president for ViacomCBS Networks Australia and New Zealand, giving him control over the company’s other TV assets in the region.

The new role included Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Comedy Central and MTV, as well as a range of associated businesses.

Anderson’s promotion followed the merger between Viacom and CBS Corporation which occurred in December 2019. CBS acquired Ten in November 2017. The business is currently in the process of ending its sales relationship with Foxtel Media, with Rod Prosser, Ten’s chief sales officer, to oversee both Ten and ViacomCBS’ sales team. The partnership will end by mid-April.

In a statement, ViacomCBS said it would not be appointing a direct replacement for Anderson, but would appoint ‘co-leads’ for the business. That includes the promotion of McGarvey to chief content officer and executive vice president across the whole business. McGarvey is already the chief content officer for Ten.

Anderson’s resignation is effective immediately, but he has agreed to stay in his role in the interim as the company ‘transitions to a new management’.

ViacomCBS plans to introduce a new management structure for Australia and New Zealand, with the new co-leads reporting to President of VCNI’s operations in Australia and the UK, Maria Kyriacou. The business also ‘reorganised’ its team in January, moving Viacom Australia general manager, Ben Richardson, to report in to Anderson as General Manager (GM), Senior Vice President (SVP), ViacomCBS Pay Networks and Ten business development.

In this restructure, Kyriacou assumed a new position atop the business in the UK and ANZ, with Anderson reporting directly to her. An announcement from ViacomCBS CEO David Lynn at the time said the business was very impressed with Anderson’s work at Ten.

“The progress that Ten has made under Paul’s leadership in strengthening its schedules, rebranding its portfolio and accelerating its streaming strategy has been impressive,” Lynn said.

ViacomCBS is now on the hunt for a co-lead to work alongside McGarvey who will be responsible for all content and creative activities in ANZ. The new co-lead will head up commercial activities and operations.


McGarvey has been appointed as one of the ‘co-leads’ of ViacomCBS and Ten in Australia

In the interim, Henriette Rothschild has been appointed as chief transformation officer. Rothschild is a partner at the advisory and investment firm KordaMentha and brings experience as chief operating officer at iSelect and regional managing director of the global management consulting firm Hay Group.

Regarding the departure, Kyriacou said: “I would like to thank Paul for his leadership of Network Ten; it is a credit to him and his team that the business has continued to compete and evolve despite the inevitable distractions that have come with recent changes in ownership. I’m grateful for the ongoing support he has offered me to help the business transition to a new management team and structure.

“Beverley is an experienced creative leader with a great track record of serving local audiences. She shares my excitement about the extra dimension that ViacomCBS’s ownership can bring to our business in Australia and I’m looking forward to working with her, Henriette and the rest of the senior leadership team to realise those benefits.

“The appointment of Henriette reflects the work we are undertaking to ensure the merged Network Ten and ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand businesses are well positioned for the future.”

Anderson said: “The past 17 years at Network Ten have been the best years of my professional life. I have worked with some extraordinary people – both in front of and behind the camera – and have been given some amazing opportunities. Now it’s time for me to try something different and eventually look for new opportunities and experiences.

“Thanks to the hard work, passion and professionalism of everyone at Network Ten, and now as part of ViacomCBS, the business is extremely well placed for the future. The combination of Network Ten and ViacomCBS is a real game-changer in the Australian market, creating a unique and powerful media group that owns some of the most innovative entertainment and media brands locally and globally.

“I’m very excited about the future of Network Ten and about what the future holds for me and my family.”

Anderson joined Ten in 2003. He was appointed chief financial officer in 2011 and took on the additional role of chief operating officer in 2014. He was appointed CEO in July 2015.

NickALive! wishes Paul all the best in all his future endeavours.

From The Age:

Ten boss Paul Anderson exits

Network Ten chief executive Paul Anderson is leaving the free-to-air broadcaster despite a promotion by US parent company ViacomCBS only three months ago.

Mr Anderson, who has led the network since 2015 and worked at Ten for 17 years, will not be directly replaced. Instead ViacomCBS, which also owns brands MTV and Nickelodeon, has appointed two local co-leads for its Australian business: Ten's existing chief content officer Beverley McGarvey, who will serve in a similar role; and Henriette Rothschild, partner at restructuring firm KordaMentha, who will join as interim chief transformation officer.

They will both report to Maria Kyriacou, president of ViacomCBS' operations in Australia and the UK, while Mr Anderson will help the business transition. The move blindsided the media industry after ViacomCBS elevated Mr Anderson to an expanded role in January.

"This is my decision," Mr Anderson told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. "I've had an amazing experience here. The change that we've had ... has given me experience that I would never have got through any MBA or in any other company. I look back on that with a lot of fondness."

Ms McGarvey, who currently leads Ten's content arm, said she felt privileged to lead part of the local ViacomCBS business.

"To have the opportunity to play a more meaningful role in a company with bigger scale and relevance is really exciting," Ms McGarvey said. "I feel very privileged and flattered to have the opportunity to do that.

“[I will lead] all of the content and creative pieces of the business in this market and those businesses have strong leadership already. It will be about how we maximise those assets across all our platforms."

Mr Anderson, who first joined Ten in 2003, was appointed chief financial officer in 2011 and then chief operating officer in 2014. He was named chief executive the following year, replacing Hamish McLennan. Mr Anderson led the business through a tumultuous five years.

In 2017, the business fell into voluntary administration after former billionaire shareholders Lachlan Murdoch, James Packer and WIN Corp owner Bruce Gordon failed to guarantee a new $250 million loan. The business was bought later that year by its largest creditor CBS Studios International, now known as ViacomCBS. In that period Ten also lost the rights to one of its biggest sports, the Big Bash League, which Seven West Media recently attempted to sell back to the network.

Mr Anderson said he is leaving the business, which runs shows including MasterChef Australia, The Bachelor and Australian Survivor, in a good position.

"The way that it's being structured is actually really smart and it's a contemporary way of running an integrated global media business," Mr Anderson said. "The combination of the performance of Ten in the last year in particular plus being part of a global company really positions us very differently from anyone else in the Australian media landscape."

Mr Anderson said the appointment of KordaMentha's Ms Rothschild to her interim role was important as the business planned for an integrated future with its parent company. KordaMentha was the firm appointed as the voluntary administrators of Ten back in 2017 and is known for its ability to restructure businesses.

"We've had a long relationship with them post the administration," Mr Anderson said. "They have been invaluable in terms of acting as advisors to us and they understand our business and industry intimately and it's a great way of us bridging the gap before we fill this new role.

Ms Kyriacou thanked Mr Anderson for his leadership. "I’m grateful for the ongoing support he has offered me to help the business transition to a new management team and structure," she said.

“[Beverley] shares my excitement about the extra dimension that ViacomCBS’s ownership can bring to our business in Australia. The appointment of Henriette reflects the work we are undertaking to ensure the merged Network 10 and ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand businesses are well positioned for the future.”

Mr Anderson's resignation came a week after chief operating officer Annabelle Herd announced her exit from the business after 16 years.

From B&T:

Paul Anderson Exits Role As 10 CEO

Network 10’s CEO Paul Anderson has resigned from the role, effective immediately.

Anderson has agreed to stay in his role in the interim to help oversee the company’s transition to new management.

He has also left his role as head of ViacomCBS Networks, a role he was only recently promoted to.

As part of the ViacomCBS and 10 merger, Anderson’s role will not be replaced, but rather two co-lead positions will be responsible for the combined ViacomCBS brands in Australia and New Zealand, including Network 10, Nickelodeon, Nick Jnr. and MTV.

Both co-leads will report to Maria Kyriacou, President of VCNI’s operations in Australia and the UK.

Beverley McGarvey, who is currently chief content officer for Network 10, has been promoted to the new role of chief content officer and EVP, ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand, giving her responsibility for all content and creative activities related to the company’s networks and digital properties in Australia and New Zealand.

ViacomCBS will also recruit a co-lead who will have oversight of all the combined company’s commercial activities and operations in both markets.

The company has also appointed Henriette Rothschild as interim chief transformation officer. Rothschild is a partner at the advisory and investment firm KordaMentha and brings to the role experience as chief operating officer at iSelect and regional managing director of the global management consulting firm Hay Group.

Kyriacou commented: “Network 10 has performed very well this year, with 11 consecutive weeks of audience share growth. We want to build on that momentum, while at the same time leveraging the powerful ViacomCBS brands and assets from both a content and revenue perspective.

“I would like to thank Paul for his leadership of Network 10; it is a credit to him and his team that the business has continued to compete and evolve despite the inevitable distractions that have come with recent changes in ownership. I’m grateful for the ongoing support he has offered me to help the business transition to a new management team and structure.”

She added: “Beverley is an experienced creative leader with a great track record of serving local audiences. She shares my excitement about the extra dimension that ViacomCBS’s ownership can bring to our business in Australia and I’m looking forward to working with her, Henriette and the rest of the senior leadership team to realise those benefits.

“The appointment of Henriette reflects the work we are undertaking to ensure the merged Network 10 and ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand businesses are well positioned for the future.”

Anderson commented: “The past 17 years at Network 10 have been the best years of my professional life. I have worked with some extraordinary people – both in front of and behind the camera – and have been given some amazing opportunities. Now it’s time for me to try something different and eventually look for new opportunities and experiences.

“Thanks to the hard work, passion and professionalism of everyone at Network 10, and now as part of ViacomCBS, the business is extremely well placed for the future. The combination of Network 10 and ViacomCBS is a real game-changer in the Australian market, creating a unique and powerful media group that owns some of the most innovative entertainment and media brands locally and globally.

“I’m very excited about the future of Network 10 and about what the future holds for me and my family.”

Anderson joined Network 10 in 2003. He was appointed CFO in 2011 and took on the additional role of COO in 2014. He was appointed CEO in July 2015 and steered the company through its acquisition by CBS Studios International, which was completed in November 2017.

Amanda Bynes Reunites with Fiancé Paul Michael Following Breakup

Update (3/10) - Just one day after it was confirmed that the former actor and her fiancé of just three several weeks had called off their engagement, Amanda returned to Instagram with a photo that may prove otherwise. "My love," she captioned a selfie of her and Paul Michael on Monday evening.

In a interview, Paul has claimed they never ended their three-week engagement after Amanda sparked split speculation by deleting their photos from Instagram. Paul said that their Instagram accounts were hacked and their photos were deleted. He also claimed the hackers responded to direct messages, adding: “We’re enjoying being engaged. We’ll let the world know when we have a date set.”

Out of respect to Amanda and Paul, I won't be updating this post much going forward. Amanda's mental health and well being is top priority, and it wouldn't be fair to speculate given the circumstances.

Update (3/8) - Amanda Bynes and her fiancé, Paul Michael, have split and ended their engagement, In Touch has learnt. “We did,” Paul told In Touch, confirming their breakup. “I love her though, she’s my best friend.”

Split rumors started swirling after the 33-year-old deleted every photo of Paul, including their engagement announcement, from her Instagram page. “Engaged to tha [sic] love of my life,” the former Nickelodeon star wrote in the caption of a photo of her gorgeous ring featuring her man’s hand in the background, which was posted on February 14, Valentine's Day, after meeting in rehab.

Update (3/9) - Amanda Bynes has reportedly been ordered to enter a psychiatric facility amid ongoing concern for her mental health. The news comes just after her now ex-fiancé Paul Michael confirmed over the weekend that they have called off their 3-week engagement. According to sources who spoke to The Blast, the former Nickelodeon star, her family, and Michael met for a conservatorship hearing last week, during which a judge ordered Bynes seek professional treatment. During the meeting, details of the actress' and Michael's engagement and her current mental state were discussed.

Although Bynes was reportedly allowed to leave the hearing, having promised that she would voluntarily check herself into the live-in facility over the weekend, the actress is now reportedly refusing to do so. According to sources, Bynes "never showed up" to the facility and she is "refusing to cooperate."

At this time, it remains unclear what further steps will be taken. Her family is now reportedly encouraging her to follow through with her promise to voluntarily check herself into the facility.

The sources add that the situation has been taxing on Michael, who was "freaked out" after hearing the details discussed in the Thursday hearing and is currently "freaking out now" after realizing how poor her current mental health is. The hearing also reportedly shed light on many of the details of her life Bynes had told him, which were not actually happening.

Michael is now said to be worried how about how the ordeal may be a threat to his sobriety and does not wish to do anything "that would get him in trouble with the judge or others in this case." He doesn't want to be blamed for Bynes' current mental state. The sources claim that this partially contributed to the decision to end their engagement.

Concern over Bynes' mental health has been growing in recent weeks, with fans citing concern over her well-being following her quick engagement to Michael, whom she had reportedly only been dating for "several months." Prior to that, fans expressed worry after she debuted her first face tattoo.

When Amanda announced her engagement, a source told E! News that "Amanda's parents are fully aware of her engagement and at this point are not approving Amanda to legally get married under the conservatorship."

Additionally, the actress' mother has been managing her affairs and finances since she underwent personal and legal turmoil that landed her in rehab several years ago. The conservatorship is reportedly set to last until August.

Just last week, she took to Instagram and revealed she was "celebrating being sober a year and two months!"

She had complained on Instagram last month about the cost of her mental health treatment and said she had asked to speak to a judge about her conservatorship.

"Amanda is really upset about [the breakup] and not taking it well at all," a source told Us Weekly late Sunday. "Paul realized the relationship just couldn’t go forward because of the obstacles of the conservatorship and Amanda must live at a sober living facility."

Bring in the dancing lobsters! Amanda Bynes just announced her engagement!


The 33-year-old actor and Nickelodeon alum took fans by surprise when she revealed on Valentine's Day that she accepted a proposal from her mystery man.

"Engaged to [the] love of my life," Bynes captioned an Instagram photo of a large diamond ring on her hand, which she placed over what's assumed to be her fiancé's hand. In the photo, he's wearing a gold band.


Hours later, the Nickelodeon alum posted a selfie with her fiancé, simply writing, “Lover”:

A post shared by Amanda Bynes (@amandabynesreal) on


Aside from the infrequent social media post, very little is known publicly about Bynes' personal life these days. Last year she graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise [FIDM] and moved into a sober living facility to continue focusing on her health. But this past December, E! News reported that Bynes left the facility and had dropped out of a FIDM bachelor's degree program she enrolled in.

"She's not doing drugs and mentally and physically she's okay," a source told E! News at the time, explaining that Amanda was "open to getting help" if needed.

Around that time, Amanda also revealed that she got a tattoo of a heart on her cheek.

The All That, The Amanda Show and She's the Man star detailed her history of drug abuse in a 2018 interview with Paper magazine. In what marked one of the only times she's openly discussed her private turmoil, Amanda recalled feeling like she had "no purpose in life" after retiring from acting.

From there, Amanda said she began "hanging out with a seedier crowd and I isolated a lot... I got really into my drug usage and it became a really dark, sad world for me."

Congratulations on your engagement, Amanda! :)

Update (2/17): The identity of Amanda Bynes' mysterious finance has been revealed. His name is Paul Michael — a man Bynes reportedly met while in rehab. Bynes surprised her fans on Valentine's Day by announcing their engagement on Instagram, and shared a picture of Michael's face on Saturday. While she made the announcement on Friday, fans have also since speculated she's been engaged for quite some time as a previous photo showed her wearing the ring.

A post shared by Amanda Bynes (@amandabynesreal) on


On Friday night, Bynes posted a photo of her hand on a man's hand, with her giant diamond engagement ring front and center. "Engaged to tha love of my life," the former Nickelodeon star, 33, wrote in the caption.

Hours later, she shared another photo, showing Michael standing behind her. "Lover," was all she wrote in the caption.

Michael's identity remained a mystery for hours, until E! News confirmed his identity. A source told the outlet the two met when she was in rehab and they started dating about two to three months ago. The outlet adds that the engagement is real.

Sources told The Blast Bynes' family has been told about the engagement, but she cannot legally marry Michael without a judge signing off on it. She is still under a conservatorship headed by her parents, and the site's sources said Bynes might not have been aware of this when she said yes to Michael.

Michael is in his 20s and is still in school, according to The Blast. He lives in the San Fernando Valley area with his family and has connections to the entertainment world, as his brother reportedly appeared in a reality show about cars. His father is a "prominent doctor" in Los Angeles.

In early December, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Bynes checked out of a sober living facility and was temporarily living with her parents while she searched for a place to live on her own. The Blast reported around the same time that Bynes' parents rushed to court because they wanted a judge's approval to get Bynes more treatment because they feared she would go back to using drugs.

After she left the sober living facility, a source told E! News she was "open to getting help." The source said Bynes was "not doing drugs again," but her sobriety is still "always the concern."

Last year, Bynes earned an associate's degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise, but dropped out while working on her bachelor's degree. In a Feb. 7 post, Bynes shared a mirror selfie showing herself wearing a California State Polytechnic University, Pomona shirt, hinting that she might be attending the school.

On Dec. 30, Bynes revealed she got the outline of a heart tattooed on her right cheek. Follow-up selfies confirmed it is a permanent face tattoo.

London, 13th November 2019 - Nickelodeon, has today announced specially priced early bird ticket sales for its first ever Nickelodeon Big Base Camp, an epic family adventure through a truly immersive experience, running from the 4th – 13th April 2020.

Nickelodeon Big Base Camp allows kids to be part of the show, with five different worlds to explore and keep them entertained. Kids will be able to gain new skills and face challenges head on, from racing against the clock to solve the mystery of Hunter Street Escape Room, learning key superhero skills at the Thunderman’s School for Superheroes, to trying to make their way through the perilous Henry Danger’s Man Cave. No matter the activity, parents can rest assured that there will be an abundance of Nickelodeon fun and slime to be had, for both themselves and kids alike.

Taking over the London venue, Magazine – conveniently located three minutes from Greenwich Station – Nickelodeon Big Base Camp will become a home away from home for Nickelodeon’s show characters and children will get the chance to meet SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol and see The Thundermans, Henry Danger and many more.

The excitement doesn’t stop there, as Nickelodeon Big Base Camp will host its very own iconic and satisfyingly messy SLIME TIME area to complete the Nickelodeon experience. The event will also give kids the opportunity to immortalise their experience in Nick Studios with stunt videos, voiceovers and green screens – the ideal addition to an event designed to make kids the stars of the show.

What’s more, whilst the big kids are off becoming superheroes, spies and stars, the Nickelodeon Fair and SpongeBob’s Bikini Bottom Beach will have plenty on offer to keep smaller adventurers happy. Kids will be able to have a play in PAW Patrols Adventure Soft Play Area and slip and slide down the Top Wing Helter Skelter.

Early bird tickets are now on sale and available to buy at: https://bookings.kaboodle.co.uk/book/9782/ticket
