A host of moves from NBCU’s iVillage, described as “key appointments” to Deborah Fine’s leadership team:
-- Gregg Zegras is promoted to SVP- consumer health, iVillage from SVP - iVillage Parenting Network.
-- Adam Wiener is promoted to SVP-iVillage Media from SVP and GM Healthology.
-- Carla Wojnaroski joins as VP-editorial from MedZine; Betsy Alexander moves from the Today Show to VP-iVillage-Today Show integration where she’ll be responsible for “driving integration” between iVillage, the Today Show and MSNBC; Juan Lopez-Valcarcel joins as VP-strategy from the media and entertainment group of Booz Allen Hamilton.

News Corp.: Chase Carey, president of and CEO of DirecTV and one of Rupert Murdoch’s go-to guys, will resign from the News Corp. board once the planned asset swap between the company and Liberty Media closes. Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei has made no secret of his hope that Carey will stay with DirecTV once majority ownership switches. (Via AP.)

TV Guide Online: While others are integrating online and print, TV Guide has appointed Mark Bautz to the new position of editor-in-chief and will direct all editorial and broadband video content for its flagship website. He will work with Ian Birch, Gemstar-TV Guide’s chief content officer and editor-in-chief of TV Guide Magazine. In addition, Bautz, former editor in chief of People.com, also will manage the content at recently acquired digital properties JumptheShark, TVShowsOnDVD, FansofRealityTV and TV-now. Release
