From the Classic TV History Blog (link to the left)
Hubbell Robinson [was] a former CBS executive who was shown the door when the network veered away from the dramatic anthologies that he had championed.  Robinson landed at Revue, the bustling television company run by MCA, where he produced segments for the prestigious 'Sunday Showcase'.  In 1960, the cult classic 'Thriller' went out under Robinson’s banner, and he sold '87th Precinct' the following year.  

Robinson has an entry in the "Encyclopedia of Televsion Volume 1" and you can read his pages here.
