March 16 (Reuters) - Walt Disney ( DIS ) named Debra OConnell as the chairman of Disney Entertainment Television on Monday, adding that she will oversee brands including ABC Entertainment, Disney Branded Television, Hulu Originals and National Geographic Content.

The media giant unveiled the new leadership structure for its entertainment arm to bring together the company's streaming, film, and television businesses, along with its games and digital entertainment division.

Both OConnell and Shoptaw will report to Walden, who will assume the new position on March 18.
