Ron Devillier,

Devillier Donegan Entertainment

Ron Devillier began his broadcasting career in 1970 at KERA-TV in Dallas, as a reporter on Newsroom. Two years later he was promoted to Program Manager and then Vice President of Programming and Productions. Devillier established DDE with Brian Donegan in 1980. In 1994, DDE entered into a partnership with ABC/Capital Cities, Inc. Under the new alliance, Devillier secured financing and launched ABC/Kane Productions International's award winning twenty-four part series, The Living Edens, on PBS. Over the next ten years, DDE became a major developer, producer and distributor of documentary productions, working with some of the world’s leading filmmakers. During that period, Devillier was the architect and principal negotiator of the development deal with PBS to produce over 60 hours of programming. With the wind down of DDE this year, Devillier will continue to manage the television interests of a few key clients including the British Comedy troupe, Monty Python.
