    SET senior VP and programming head Anupama Mandloi quits

    MUMBAI: Sony Entertainment India (SET) India senior VP and programming head Anupama Mandloi has resigned.

    After a nine-and-a-half-year stint at the flagship channel SET, Mandloi officially says goodbye to the organisation tomorrow.

    For the near term, recently appointed chief creative director Sandiip Sikcand (former Balaji creative head ) will be overseeing Mandloi’s responsibilities. However, according to sources, the organisation has not taken any final call on whether to have a replacement for her position.

    In her time at Sony, Mandloi has held various positions — from on-air programming director, on-air programming head, creative director, to senior VP and programming head. She was also instrumental in setting up Sony’s flanking channel SAB TV, which was bought out last year.

    Prior to Sony, Mandloi worked with Plus Channel. She has also worked on projects with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt.

    Star One revamps Friday prime time

    MUMBAI: Star One has revamped its Friday prime time, adding two new properties to its line up. The erstwhile Sab TV show Office Office takes a re-birth in Star One as Naya Office Office. On the other hand, the channel is re-launching its detective serial D.O.N on 14 July.

    Titled Naya Office Office, the new version of the popular sitcom Office Office will launch on 21 July and has been placed in the 8:30 pm slot. The Great Indian Laughter Champions Dwitiya will air at 9 pm, followed by the new D.O.N at 10 pm. Mano Yo Na Mano retains its 11 pm slot.

    Announcing the launch of Naya Office Office, Star India senior creative director Shailja Kejriwal said, “Our success with comedy continues and once again we have looked at fresh concepts that we believe will appeal to our viewers. In its previous avatar, the show has won many hearts and many accolades and we are confident of the continued success with Naya Office Office. Our march to the number two position will be strengthened with a show of this caliber.”

    Star One has adopted the strategy of launching the second seasons of its successful programmes in order to win back its lost position in the Hindi GEC space. As already reported, following Naya Office Office and D.O.N in the launch schedule would be the new versions of its celebrity talent hunt property Nach Baliye and the youth-oriented serial Remix.
