Mark Pedowitz, a veteran executive at ABC and parent Disney, is leaving the company after 19 years, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Pedowitz started at ABC in 1991 as senior VP of business affairs, rising through the ranks to head up ABC Studios. For the last year he has been a senior adviser to Anne Sweeney, who is co-chair of Disney-Media Networks.

He’ll set up a first-look deal at Warner Bros. TV.
