MONTREAL – Bell Media has named Dany Meloul to VP programming, French-language TV, effective immediately.
Reporting to French-Language TV and RDS president Gerry Frappier, Meloul will be at the helm of all activities pertaining to scheduling, planning, original content, and acquisitions for the company's French-language non-sports specialty channels Canal Vie, Canal D, Z, VRAK, and Investigation as well as pay services Super Écran and Cinépop.
A Québec media industry veteran, Meloul previously worked as Bell Media’s assistant general counsel and before that at Astral for many years. She serves on the board of directors of INIS and chairs the Québec Regional Panel of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.
