Channing Dungey has officially added some new responsibilities and reports to her dance card.

Deadline revealed over the weekend that Dungey, who was formerly Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group and US Networks, will now also oversee the Paramount cable networks such as MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and BET.

Dungey, who took on oversight of the WBD networks such as Discovery Channel, TLC, HGTV and Food Network at the start of 2025, said it was time to “turn the page and begin a new chapter”.

She now reports to George Cheeks, Co-Chair and Chief Content Officer, Skydance TV and JB Perrette, Co-Chair and Chief Business Officer, Skydance TV.

In a memo to staff yesterday, Dungey highlighted the studio’s current run that has seen it secure 13 new series orders and 13 renewals since the start of the year, meaning that its slate now includes more than 80 titles for over 20 platforms. This includes Apple’s Ted Lasso, HBO Max’s The Pitt and Netflix’s Running Point as well as HBO Max’s Lanterns, which she said ranks among the top five series launches in the streamer’s history.

Dungey also said she was looking forward to working with “talented studio heads” Matt Thunell, who is President of Paramount Television Studios, and David Stapf, President of CBS Studios.

But she admitted there was uncertainty across the company, given the savings that Co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz have discussed.

“I imagine many of you are arriving at this milestone with mixed emotions: pride in what your teams have accomplished, genuine excitement about the possibilities ahead, and understandably, some uncertainty about what comes next. I don’t have all the answers today — some things will come into focus quickly, while others will take more time to figure out — but I am committed to keeping you as informed as I can as we move forward,” she said. “I’m sure you are wondering what all these changes mean for each of you individually. I don’t have further details at the moment, other than to assure you that our new leadership respects and appreciates how special our amazing, industry-leading team is, and I will be working closely with them on the strategy for our future success.”

She concluded, “As we embark on this next chapter in the company’s storied history, my hope is we can work together to make this transition as smooth and positive as possible for all involved, and to build a future for the studios that’s bigger and better than ever.”

The Only Agency, a U.S. talent agency that represents fashion stylists, hair and makeup artists in the entertainment industry founded by Kent Belden, is set to acquire The Blogger Agent, a London-based talent agency representing beauty influencers and digital creators across the U.K., Europe and the Middle East.

The deal will give TOA’s clients, many of whom have public followings built around their editorial and behind-the-scenes work, a direct path into creator representation and brand partnerships. In return, the Blogger Agent’s creators will have access to TOA’s New York/Los Angeles-based platform and production network, giving them a direct foothold in the U.S. market.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

Founded in 2015, The Blogger Agent’s roster of fashion, beauty, lifestyle and entertainment clients have a combined social following of more than 100 million. Under the terms of the deal, the agency will continue to operate under its existing name, with its London-based team joining The Only Agency.

“The Blogger Agent has built an exceptional business and a powerful roster of creators with real influence and cultural relevance, particularly across fashion and beauty,” Belden said in a statement. “Our talent creates the looks and images that shape fashion and beauty and The Blogger Agent’s creators bring those looks to audiences every day, allowing us to create a truly global talent platform.”

“Fashion and beauty are increasingly shaped across red carpets, editorials, campaigns and creator feeds,” he added. “Together we can create more opportunities for talent worldwide, give brands new ways to connect creative direction with digital influence, and preserve the entrepreneurial spirit and personal approach that has made both companies so successful.”

The move comes as talent and media businesses are moving to capture a larger share of the creator economy as brands continue to shift their marketing spend toward influencer and creator partnerships. It also comes as two agencies look to expand the reach of their representation businesses globally.

As part of the deal, The Blogger Agent founder Claudia Bish will oversee expansion efforts in the U.S. and the Middle East, with a focus on signing talent and developing opportunities in those markets.

“The Only Agency shares our belief that great talent deserves thoughtful, strategic representation and that the strongest partnerships are built for the long term,” Bish said in a statement. “Joining forces gives our creators access to new opportunities, relationships and markets while allowing us to build on everything we’ve created so far. I’m particularly excited about the opportunity to expand our presence in the U.S. and Middle East and bring even more opportunities to our talent.”

Qualia Legacy Advisors served as exclusive sell-side advisor to The Blogger Agent on the transaction.

“The Blogger Agent has built a category-defining roster in the beauty influencer space,” Qualia Legacy Advisors managing partner Isaac Palmer said in a statement. “The Only Agency is exactly the right partner to help that platform scale globally.”

“This combination creates a powerful two-way ecosystem,” Aaron Meyerson, Qualia’s managing director, added. “Elite stylists and artists can build personal brands as influencers, and established digital creators can elevate their profiles by working alongside top-tier celebrity talent.”
