In his new role, Lewers will work across various business critical groups including digital, social and production. He will also help oversee marketing, communications, programming and sales to expand the network’s audience reach on-air, online and across social platforms.

Lewers will report to TLC general manager Nancy Daniels.

“It’s no secret we live in a hyper-connected world, and TLC’s audience is incredibly socially and digitally engaged. Scott’s impressive experience and creative energy continues our strategy to leverage all of our platforms to create the most engaging experience to viewers, as we build an even stronger brand,” Daniels said in a statement on Tuesday.

Lewers won a 2012 Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding New Approaches Sports Event Coverage as part of a team for Discovery’s “Space Jump Live” with Felix Baumgartner.
