“Organizationally, I really think we are kind of through the execution of most of our restructuring. The costs will hit over the next 12 months. There’s about a third of them in this quarter and by the middle next year we will be through the majority of them,” he said. “They are designed for two things: We have an obligation as our revenue moves down to adjust our cost base. But more importantly, we have really realigned our TV organization under Mark Lazarus,” Shell said.
“I really don’t think the definition of success is any different than it’s ever been. Our job is to be profitable, generate cash flow and long-term value for the company. And it is obviously a very changing world so you have to be nimble in doing that,” he added, asked by an analyst what a reconfigured, slimmed down NBCU wants achieve and how it measures success.
“It used to be in the TV world you were very vertically oriented by network … and every network had their management team and staff. We realigned kind of dramatically. Everything is one management group in the TV business under two great executives, Frances Berwick and Susan Rovner. And the idea now is to find great content and use our platforms [from linear to Peacock] to maximize the value of it. I am really excited about it. It does result in a lot less cost.
So many good people losing their jobs sad times

And it’s not even going to stay that cute. It looks like they can get pretty dangerous after the first decade or so. Why don’t they tell you all this before you bring them home?”At press time, the parents had resolved drop the baby off at the shelter first thing tomorrow morning.\n Guy: Karen, this one is definitely gonna live longer than Scruffy.
