Persson takes programming reins at Turner’s U.K. kidsnets
Cecilia Persson is going to have her hands full over the next year as she steps into the new job as VP of programming, acquisitions and presentation for Turner's four U.K. kidsnets, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Toonami and Cartoon Network Too. She started at CN in 2005 as director of acquisitions, scooping up shows for broadcast across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A few of her key acquisitions included Storm Hawks (Nerd Corps) and King Arthur's Disasters (Zenith/Cake Entertainment). She'll retain those duties and take on responsibility for overseeing the programming and presentation teams and program scheduling.
