NBC Chief Paul Telegdy Leaving As Part of Major NBCU TV Overhaul

Frances Berwick elevated to new role overseeing all cable and broadcast networks

The major NBCUniversal TV and streaming reorganization teased by new CEO Jeff Shell during last week’s Comcast earnings call is underway, starting with NBC Entertainment chairman Paul Telegdy.

The new structure will create three horizontally integrated units, all of them reporting to Mark Lazarus, who was named chairman of NBCUniversal television and streaming in May as part of a separate NBCU reorganization.

The Direct-to-Consumer unit will be headed up by Peacock chairman Matt Strauss, who will continue to oversee the streaming service.
