HBO's Chief Gets Whacked
That didn’t take long. A day after Chris Albrecht took a leave of absence from his post following a weekend in which he was arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend, Time Warner has whacked the HBO chief executive. Nikki Finke reports that because of “Albrecht’s past behavior with women at the cable pay channel” he “is being told to quit or be fired.”
UPDATE: Time Warner confirms the whacking:
Time Warner Inc. today announced that the Company and Chris Albrecht have agreed that he will no longer serve as chairman and CEO of Home Box Office, effective immediately.
