I figured this was the best place to post this info:
From

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - David Greenwalt, the co-creator and executive producer of The WB's "Angel" is close to signing a contract with Touchstone Television to serve as the showrunner for the new ABC fall season drama "Miracles," reports the Hollywood Reporter.
Greenwalt will continue to work on "Angel" as a creative consultant. Sources suggest that David Simkins ("Roswell," "FreakyLinks") is likely to be the replacement showrunner for the vampire drama, which will enter its fourth season in the fall.
"An unexpected thing happened to me when I first read and then saw the pilot for 'Miracles,' which is that I fell in love," says Greenwalt. "It's got everything -- it asks the big questions about existence, it's got irony and danger and horror and hope, and these are all the things that I love."
"Miracles" stars Skeet Ulrich as a young man assigned to find a scientific basis that will explain reported miracles. But when he witnesses something he can't explain, he is led to team up with a mysterious organization that conducts investigations of its own into the paranormal. Some critics have already suggested that the show looks to be something of a spiritual "X-Files."
"It's a good move for him," says Joss Whedon, creator and executive producer of both "Angel" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," who has worked with Greenwalt for many years. "He's still gonna consult for 'Angel,' so that's good for me, but it's killing me. I'm losing a great writer, a great producer, a great director and a guy without whom I have yet to make an hour of TV. He's the real deal, and there aren't that many of those."
Greenwalt has also worked on the TV series "Profit" and "The Wonder Years," as well as a handful of movies, including "Secret Admirer" which he co-wrote and directed.
