FRANK RESIGNS FROM PARAMOUNT

Richard H. Frank, president of the Paramount Television Group since July, 1983, resigned from the company on Wednesday in an unexpected move. A Paramount spokeswoman quoted Frank as saying he was leaving to “pursue new career opportunities.”

His resignation was announced by Frank Mancuso, president of Paramount Pictures Corp., parent company of the studio’s television group. Mancuso said that Frank’s successor will be announced shortly and that Frank will stay at Paramount “for an indefinite period to ensure the orderly transfer of responsibilities.”
