Summary
NBCUniversal faces major decisions in the coming months, including the future of Hulu, NBA broadcasting rights, and a potential merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The sudden departure of CEO Jeff Shell due to an inappropriate relationship with an employee leaves Comcast CEO Brian Roberts with the decision to replace Shell with an internal or external CEO or leave the job with current Comcast president Mike Cavanagh. The future of NBCUniversal's news and entertainment company is uncertain, and losing its top operator may give Roberts pause on major deals or spur him to find new leadership through a large acquisition.
