Sorry to all the victims who thought they would be safe at some point this year.

Great news for all the sexual harassers at the cable news network and also another handful of new channels.

You will continue to be protected by the world’s leader at protecting predators in his employ.

Hell, at this point he will probably hire the former morning guy and let him choose from his pick of interns.

Sorry to all the victims who thought they would be safe at some point this year.

With AT&T’s WarnerMedia-Discovery deal, Jeff Zucker poised for a comeback

Jeff Zucker spent last year in a box.

Heading into 2020, the CNN president was considered the top internal candidate to take over as chief executive of AT&T’s WarnerMedia, according to several company insiders. It would be a major promotion to the top of one of the biggest media companies in the business, overseeing a portfolio that included Warner Bros., HBO and Turner, as well as the cable news channel he had stewarded.

Instead, in April of that year, AT&T handed the reins to Jason Kilar, a former Hulu CEO and Amazon alumnus eager to disrupt the legacy media business and go all-in on streaming.

Zucker, the one-time CEO of NBCUniversal and a legacy media veteran, found himself reporting to Kilar, a tech executive who had little experience with the preoccupations of cable news and legacy television (NBCUniversal is the parent company of NBC News). Zucker chafed at AT&T’s decision, which took away some of his control over personnel. He and Kilar merely tolerated one another, four sources with knowledge of their dynamic said. – Source
