Former Paramount and Disney Executive Dan Cohen Takes the Television Post at Black Bear

Dan Cohen, who has worked at both Paramount and Disney, has been appointed to run television distribution at the independent company Black Bear, according to Variety Film. Black Bear also plans to open a new division focused on digital channels. The report treats the two moves as part of the same announcement: an executive from two major studios joins an independent company while it adds a line of business. For readers in Beverly Hills who follow the entertainment industry, it is a hire worth noting.
