This follows the recent appointment of Charlie Collier as President and General Manager of SundanceTV, adding to his oversight of AMC.

"The new management structure for AMC and SundanceTV acknowledges the outstanding contributions of a dynamic and proven leadership team and positions both networks for continued success," Collier said. "Joel has had a meaningful impact on the growth and evolution of AMC, and SundanceTV will benefit from his programming expertise and leadership. Jan is a seasoned and talented executive and his role will be critical to the ongoing growth and development of SundanceTV as a network, a brand and a business."

AMC's head of public relations, Marnie Black, is being promoted to Executive Vice President of Public Relations for AMC and SundanceTV. Similarly, other members of Collier's AMC senior management team will expand their roles to oversee their same functional areas at SundanceTV.
