(AP) — The president of TV Guide Network, Ryan O'Hara, is departing less than a year after the channel was acquired by Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.

Lions Gate said Friday that O'Hara, who is also president of TVGuide.com, will start another job in New York that will be announced next week.

The company did not name a replacement.

Lions Gate shares rose 31 cents, or 6.4 percent, to $5.16 in afternoon trading. The stock has ranged from $3.65 to $7.29 over the past year.
