David Janollari is heading to NBC.
Less than a year after the executive departed MTV as head of programming, Janollari has inked a three-year deal to develop scripted fare for NBC.
The pact reunites Janollari -- the former president of the WB Network -- with NBC entertainment president Bob Greenblatt, with whom he developed Six Feet Under, Elvis and American Family, among others.
"Our goal is to make deals with the best creative producers in our business and David Janollari exemplifies this,” said Universal Television exec vp Bela Bajaria. “Not only have I had the pleasure of working with him when he was a producer in the trenches, but he also has experience as an executive at three different networks which gives him added insight into the complexities and ever-changing programming needs of our industry at this moment. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Universal Television family.”
