This whats-her-name is Geraldine Laybourne, who also co-founded Nickelodeon in 1979.

I don't know if she co-founded the channel, but she was the force behind the remake of Nick in 1984 from an "eat your vegetables" kids channel to "What You Want--Not What Your Parents Want," which has been their guiding force since then (although they've toned down the parent-bashing in promos since their earlier days), anointing that silly Canadian comedy show "You Can't Do That on Television" as their signature series.
BTW, although some of us assume that Carsey-Werner produced the Oxygen "IGAS," there's no production company credit and the copyright notice is simply "Oxygen Media LLC." Whatever.
BTW, Laybourne's programming chief at Oxygen is Debby Beece, who while in the same position at Nick in 1986 greenlit "Double Dare." Unfortunately, no game format, be it traditional or reality, has shown up on Oh! since "IGAS" ended production.
