The Sony Pictures Television Co-President, Chris Parnell, is leaving Sony Pictures for a position at Apple TV. Parnell has been with Song Pictures Television for 16 years and has guided the creative aspects of the company. Now, Parnell will have senior position as a programmer for Apple TV and will be responsible to expand Apple’s lineup of original series.
“Parnell arrives at Apple as indie studio Sony TV continues to face an uphill battle in a climate in which media conglomerates prioritize ownership over licensing deals.”
