Disney 'Furious' at NBC for Breaking Embargo on Kennedy Book
NBC aired audio exerpts ahead of schedule
Disney execs are “furious” that the world exclusive on the embargoed Jackie Kennedy book and audiotapes was broken by NBC, and not ABC, according to the New York Post’s Keith Kelly. Both ABC and the book’s publisher, Hyperion, are owned by Disney.
The book, “Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy,” and accompanying tapes had an embargo date of today, but NBC’s “Nightly News with Brian Williams” first aired excerpts of the audio last Friday, and on the “Today” show Monday and Tuesday morning.
