Wonder if this is the same guy who dropped “Last Man Standing” from ABC.
he’s a she.
Channing Dungey is a black woman. She is a "twofer" in the game of diversity politics. I wouldn't be surprised if she was behind dropping "Last Man Standing." At the very least, she probably signed off on it.
Might have been one of her employees with the same political bent as her.
She was the one who cancelled Last Man Standing or, at least she took credit for it.
“I canceled Last Man Standing...ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey told reporters Tuesday...”
Yep. She made that "bold decision" as well.
ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey:
She was indeed the person who cancelled both Roseanne and Last Man Standing, as well as losing two of their top Creators/Producers. They were trying to build a "universe" around Shonda Rhimes' "Greys Anatomy" like NBC did with "Chicago Fire/Med/PD". They are last place in ratings and she has been a unmitigated disaster. There is no doubt she is being fired, but they are handling it carefully because she is a double protected class.
Girl. Yes it is. Shes an idiot for cancelling two popular tb shows. I think she was helped out the door. I am sure the board at abc is not amused with her.
