“We are committed to developing projects across formats and genres,” says Jonathan Blakely, executive producer of Roberts’ new unit, in an interview. “It could include everything from pop culture to true crime, and some things that might surprise some people that will come from Robin.”
Blakely previously launched and executive produced “60 Minutes+” for CBS News and its predecessor show, a short-form version of the program for Quibi. In more than a decade at CBS News, Blakely worked at “60 Minutes,” “CBS This Morning,” “CBS Evening News” and CBS News’ streaming operations. He will report to Mike Kelley, the head of ABC News Studios. Katie Conway.
Roberts’ inaugural project under the new arrangement will air as a special edition of “20/20″ on Sunday, September 24 at 10 p.m. “Kerry Washington: Thicker Than Water – A Conversation with Robin Roberts” features Roberts in a one-on-one interview with actor, director and producer Kerry Washington in advance of “Thicker Than Water,” her coming memoir.
More is on the way, Blakely says. “At the end of the day, a really compelling narrative story — I think that is what really resonates with people,” he adds. “That’s what we are going to be focused on.”
