Lionsgate EVP Television Barbara Wall Exits

EXCLUSIVE: Barbara Wall is stepping down as EVP television for Lionsgate. Wall, who served as head of development and current programming at the indie TV studio, will stay on as a producer until her current contract expires in the fall. The search is underway for her successor.

She also shepherded development by Lionsgate-based producers Clyde Phillips and Stanley Tucci & Steve Buscemi.�Before Lionsgate, Wall was EVP production and development for Heel and Toe Films, where she helped develop the pilot for Fox's House. She also has held programming posts at 20th Century Fox TV, TNT and Fox.
