Sony Pictures Television distribution and networks co-president Mike Wald is retiring after 32 years with the company, the studio was set to announce Thursday morning. The news comes as Sony Pictures’ TV exec VP of North America Distribution Flory Bramnick also recently announced her departure.

“I have had the distinct privilege of working closely with Mike and Flory for many years, and it is hard to overstate the impact they have had on our business and the people around them,” Sony Pictures TV chairman Keith Le Goy said in a memo to staff. As part of the changeover, Le Goy also revealed a new structure for its distribution and networks unit.
