McGoldrick
Bill McGoldrick, the architect behind Spike TV's burgeoning scripted series slate, has been upped to senior VP of development.
McGoldrick has overseen the development of scripted originals for the MTV Networks cabler since the 2007 departure of Pancho Mansfield. Sharon Levy, senior VP of factual entertainment, oversees Spike's nonscripted slate.
Formerly with USA Network, McGoldrick is working on an upcoming Spike slate that includes comedies "Blue Mountain State," a Brian Robbins-produced series centered on a class of freshman football players at a gridiron-obsessed university, and "Players," focused on two brothers who own a sports bar, created and starring former "Upright Citizens Brigade" denizen Matt Walsh.
