Versant Communications, the company formed after NBCUniversal's cable networks spun off, has strengthened its leadership team by hiring Erin Calhoun as Senior Vice President of Entertainment and Sports Communications and Steve Arocho as Vice President of Corporate Communications. Calhoun, a former top Paramount TV communications exec, and Arocho will work under Chief Communications Officer Keith Cocozza.

Editor’s Note: This move signals Versant's commitment to building a strong communications team as it establishes itself post-spinoff. High-profile hires like Calhoun and Arocho suggest the company is investing in experienced leadership to navigate the competitive media landscape—something that could boost its reputation and strategic positioning.
