“Jeff Zucker’s meteoric rise in the media industry may not be over yet,” reports Dylan Byers a senior media reporter for NBC News.
Byers’ story continues, “Zucker, the president of CNN, is now the leading — if not the only — internal candidate being considered to become chief executive of WarnerMedia, the new conglomeration owned by AT&T that includes Warner Bros., HBO and Turner Broadcasting, according to five high-level WarnerMedia sources. He is currently the head of news and sports for WarnerMedia.”
Zucker would replace John Stankey, who might become CEO of AT&T itself.
Later in his report Byers writes, “Selecting Zucker to lead WarnerMedia would present significant risks for AT&T, both because he had a troubled tenure at NBCUniversal and because of his relationship with President Donald Trump, all five sources said.”

Jeff “The Demolition Man” Zucker.
Failing up.
Exactly right. He belongs as the morning show producer at a sub 50 market….contemptible.
Peter Principle at it’s best!
After the outstanding job he’s done at CNN (can’t even beat the Cartoon Network in ratings for Pete’s sake) a promotion makes perfect sense !!
