TBS SVP Dismisses Schleiff Speculation

By Brian 

Multichannel News reports: “The New York Post’s Sunday suggestion that Court TV CEO Henry Schleiff might be in line to be president of CNN Headline News is ‘pure speculation,’ according to Turner Broadcasting System Inc. senior vice president Shirley Powell.

Yes, Court TV is likely to be folded into Turner’s stable of cable networks, after Time Warner Inc. becomes its full owner in the not-too-distant future… But ‘there’s no deal,’ at this point, Powell said Monday. Beyond that, ‘no one’s even talked to Henry yet,’ she added.”
