Sky's Jack Oliver Exiting Role As Head Of Co

EXCLUSIVE: Sky ‘s Head of Co-Productions, Jack Oliver, is leaving the European pay-TV giant.

Deadline can reveal he will leave at the end of the month after over a decade with the Comcast -owned company, and that his role will not be replaced. No word on his next move yet.

We understand his position will be absorbed into existing teams, with arts co-productions moving to acquisitions and documentary co-productions overseen by Sky Studios’ commissioning team. Insiders say the change reflects a “natural evolution” at Sky.

We understand that none of Sky’s upcoming projects will be impacted by Oliver’s exit.

This marks the second major commissioning exit from Sky’s team to exit in the past week. Doc chief Poppy Dixon’s departure was revealed in a report by Broadcast last week. Phil Ed
