E! Networks plans to expand

E! Networks in Los Angeles has named Kevin MacLellan senior VP, international. He will oversee Duccio Donati (now VP, international sales), and Cheryl McDermott, who has joined the company as VP, business operations, international. MacLellan fills a post that lay vacant for six months following the departure of Jon Helmrich. COO Kenneth Bettsteller says MacLellan's appointment signals a new phase in the development of E!'s worldwide operations: 'I think we've lost a lot of opportunities to make a lot of our international channels that already exist even stronger through a more proactive involvement, whether it's on the marketing, the scheduling, or the distribution end.'
