It's official: Paul Lee is the new head of ABC Entertainment Group.

"I'm proud of everything we achieved at ABC Family, and I'm looking forward to working with another great team at ABC Entertainment Group to bring even more compelling stories to viewers," Lee said in a statement. "ABC is a great network defined by creativity and known for delivering some of the best shows on television. I'm excited to be part of it, and deeply honored to be chosen for the unique opportunity to lead the network and the brand into the future."

Disney made the announcement via press release.

Lee served as head of ABC Family since 2004. He helped usher in original programming such as 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager,' 'Greek,' Kyle XY' and 'Pretty Little Liars.'

Lee will not serve as presidents of both networks. His replacement at ABC Family will be named at a later date.

• After months of speculation, 'Cougar Town' is keeping its name. During the course of the show's first season, the premise changed from a single woman on the prowl for dates -- hence the cougar title -- to being more about a goofy family of friends. According to Ausiello Files, the creators just couldn't come up with anything good.

"I'm not changing the title," Bill Lawrence, executive producer, told Ausiello. "We never thought of a good new one, which kind of sucks. And when you look at the modern landscape of television, changing the title means changing your DVR and all this other stuff."
