Paramount Network Comments On Harvey Weinstein’s Involvement With Waco

Deadline reports that during the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT president Kevin Kay spoke about the involvement of the Harvey Weinstein and the Weinstein Company on Waco and Yellowstone. He said that even though the company was part of the production, they will not be credited and their logo won’t be seen. He said that Harvey Weinstein himself was never involved in the creative process.

He said: “As many of you know our production partner on Yellowstone and Waco is the Weinstein Co. I want to say definitively that Harvey Weinstein has never been part of the creative process. Until a new name of the company is announced, Weinstein Co. will not be listed in the credits for either show.”

After the first allegations against Weinstein went public in October, Paramount Network voted to remove his name as executive producer and replace Weinstein TV with the company’s new name when they could. The Paramount Network launches on January 18. It is a rebranding of Spike TV.
