NBC Universal Resets Oversight of Cable, Digital, Spanish TV
Posted in: Uncategorized
At NBC Universal, oversight of cable, digital properties and Spanish-language broadcasting has recently involved a complex chain of command. Now the company’s CEO, Steve Burke, is attempting to simplify the three operations.
In a sweeping maneuver announced Monday, Mr. Burke handed responsibility of the company’s cable networks to Bonnie Hammer, the popular programmer who built such assets as USA and SyFy into cable powerhouses, and whose current project is building up E!.
Lauren Zalaznick, who had been running cable networks including Bravo and Oxygen while also overseeing Spanish-language network Telemundo, a slew of web properties and some broad marketing programs, will now focus on digital properties as well as general innovation and emerging technology at the company.
