Mike Darnell moves to Warner Bros. Television

From THR:

Reality TV pioneer Mike Darnell has found a new home. Mere weeks after exiting Fox, the veteran executive is heading to Warner Bros. Television, where he will be president of unscripted and alternative programming as well as syndicated fare. The move puts Darnell in charge of the reality genre for the studio's Telepictures division as well as Warner Horizon, which produces American Idol rival The Voice. When Darnell begins his new job August 12, he will report to Warner Bros. TV president Peter Roth.

"It's what I wanted to do, which is to stretch my fingers out," Darnell tells The Hollywood Reporter in an exclusive interview. "There are so many more platforms out there now and Warner Bros. has a great presence in all of them."
