Aaron Meyerson is President of Programming and Development at CBS Television Distribution, the leading producer of original first-run series for the syndication market.

In his position, Meyerson is responsible for the development of all new original programming – including the Fall 2012 daytime talk show JEFF PROBST – and also oversees the ongoing development and production of over 2,300 episodes of original series programming per year, including syndicated hit franchises ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, JUDGE JUDY, DR. PHIL, THE INSIDER, INSIDE EDITION, EXCUSED and RACHAEL RAY.

Meyerson joined CBS in January 2011 from digital media tech startup, Coincident TV, where he was Head of Content and Business Development. Before Coincident, Meyerson was Senior Vice President, Alternative Programming at MTV Networks, where he was in charge of West Coast development of unscripted series. 

From 2005 to 2008, Meyerson was Senior Vice President, Development and Production at the Oxygen Network. Hired to turn around Oxygen's ratings, he quickly set a new course for Oxygen's brand and original programming strategy, launching in quick succession unscripted hits "Tori and Dean," "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency," "The Bad Girls Club," "Mo'nique's Fat Chance" and "Snapped," scripted critical favorite "Campus Ladies," and numerous made-for-TV movies and documentaries. 

The effect was a dramatic increase in ratings, press, buzz and distribution for the emerging network. Meyerson also oversaw Oxygen's first ever Emmy nomination for the critically acclaimed movie "The Robber Bride," starring Mary Louise Parker.

Prior to Oxygen, Meyerson was Senior Vice President, Non-Scripted Programming and Business Development at Fox Television Studios, where he oversaw two production companies – Foxstar and Natural History New Zealand – that produced award-winning pop culture and documentary programming for a bevy of cable networks.  Meyerson also was responsible for the off-network distribution of the studio's library and managed a network of distribution partners to maximize revenue in international and home video markets.

Before Fox, Meyerson was a feature film studio executive at New Line Cinema and The Walt Disney Studios, and a producer of such films as "Dumb and Dumber," "Inspector Gadget," "Meet the Deedles," "Above the Rim" and "Genius."

Meyerson received his undergraduate degree in economics from Berkeley, and his MBA from Stanford. He serves on the Executive Board of the non-profit organization Spark.
