Indeed, the latest I hear from knowledgeable Comcast is going to take NBC Universal soon-to-be-owners “minutes, not months” to ax Strangelove Zucker after regulators approved the acquisition. Here is the last still in charge of balance, though-I-Zucker-up-NBC-night email, I am the staff
From: Jeff Zucker (NBC Universal) Sent: Wednesday, February 3, 2010 10:53 To: NBC Universal Employee Communications (NBC Universal) Subject: NBCU / Transition Team Comcast Updat
Yesterday he met about 120 people from both companies will be working on the transition to talk about our vision of the New NBCU, our focus on the effort, and teams of plansAs you probably know, we have a team of NBC Universal, Comcast are working together on the transition process.
Our Visio
Our vision is to create the best entertainment, sports, news and information company in the world. We are proud of the rich history of NBC Universal and Comcast, and together we grow our content and create new ways for consumers to experience anytime, anywhere. We are interested in creating value within permanent and will not prevent the risk or investment to achieve
Our approach to general Transitio
We believe that decentralized decision making is the best path to success. We will all be part of the same family of Comcast and one of our goals is to have the content and distribution of working together to create new options for consumers who benefit the entire organization. After about, NBCU will operate as an independent company will be consolidated with Comcast, but not integrated into Comcast. We hope that every part of the company to have the highest ethical standards, treating people with respect, and communicate honestly about the business challenges
Our approach to the integration of Comcast’s content assets with NBC
We intend to create an “integrated” NBCU content the post-closing. Comcast’s programming, sports and digital assets are fully integrated in the new NBCU employees will become part of the company to new content. As the largest organization of content, NBCU will tend to carry much of the workOur focus will be objective and based on fact – we will gather information and learn about other organizations, each focusing on the appropriate long-term solutions, determine the best structural options before approaching the staffing, and then all possible for people to have great great opportunities.
A unique opportunity for this Righ
We are excited about the opportunities before us and we want to ensure that our approach prepares us for the long-term success. We want to be deliberate, thoughtful and practical in our decision makingWhile we acknowledge that the transactions to create uncertainty, but also provide a unique opportunity to rethink the way we do business and how to win in the future.
Two teams to direct Effor
Bob Victor of Comcast, in collaboration with John Eck of NBC Universal, will lead the management teamNBCU Salil Mehta, working with Joe Donnelly, Comcast, will lead the operations team. Administrative team plan how to implement the appropriate infrastructure (human resources, finance, IT, legal, real estate, etc) to support a transition of GE’s NBC Universal and Comcast Comcast support the integration and active content NBCU. The operations team will identify opportunities for growth through both organizations, identify business priorities and focus, and finally, recommend organizational structures. We divided the work into two.
Expectations Timin
Therefore, do not expect to start making important after the close staffing and structural decisions until the summer at the earliest. While the larger organization, NBCU will lead much of the work on integration of content, we will take a thoughtful and informed approach to personnel decisions. Therefore, the implementation of our plans can not start until the transaction closes. During this time, both companies should continue to operate as independent entities. We expect the approval process will take 9-12 months. This creates uncertainty, but also gives us time to plan our right. We are also committed to making the new NBCU organization the best place for great people to work in industry
