We don’t usually cover executive changes at Eclipse, but today’s announcement that Anne Sweeney – current co-chair, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney/ABC Television Group – is leaving is a bit different in a couple ways. First, the movie is her decision – made to follow her passion of becoming a TV director, and secondly, because she has accomplished a very great deal in her career: growing the global Disney Channel, revamping ABC Family and leading television into the digital era, putting ABC shows online in 2005 – to name but three of her achievements.
Sweeney plans to step down in January, 2015. First a more complete list of her accomplishments, check out the press release following the jump.
