WarnerMedia shake-up: Bob Greenblatt to lead HBO; CNN’s Jeff Zucker gets Turner Sports

. Both men, who were in their jobs for about three decades, announced their departures last week.

Zucker becomes chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports, and Tsujihara retains the studio and picks up responsibility for children’s and young-adult programming and consumer products.With the reorganization, Stankey has effectively selected his A-team. Turner International President Gerhard Zeiler becomes WarnerMedia’s chief revenue officer. Layoffs are expected as part of the restructuring, including in advertising sales.

This is a vote of confidence for Tsujihara, who becomes the only division head from the Time Warner years to survive the AT&T takeover. He will continue to be in charge of WarnerMedia’s gaming efforts and digital assets that were part of the AT&T-owned Otter Media, and manage a fan favorite: Turner Classic Movies.

In 2013, Tsujihara became the first Asian American to run a major Hollywood studio. He is the grandson of Japanese immigrants and the son of an egg farmer from Northern California.

Bob Greeenblatt (sp?)...you sure it's not Boob Greeenblatt?

Zucker has turned once watchable CNN into a smoking hole in the ground. This bodes poorly for HBO.
