The executive, who has been for the network for nine years, isn’t completely leaving the fold, however. Martin will remain on as an adviser for AMC Networks, reporting to CEO Josh Sapan.

AMC networks declined to comment on a successor for Martin.

AMC Networks COO Ed Carroll lauded Martin’s “impressive track record” at WE in announcing her departure, citing WE’s success  particularly on Thursday and Friday nights.
