Zucker becomes chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports, and Tsujihara retains the studio and picks up responsibility for children’s and young-adult programming and consumer products.With the reorganization, Stankey has effectively selected his A-team. Turner International President Gerhard Zeiler becomes WarnerMedia’s chief revenue officer. Layoffs are expected as part of the restructuring, including in advertising sales.
This is a vote of confidence for Tsujihara, who becomes the only division head from the Time Warner years to survive the AT&T takeover. He will continue to be in charge of WarnerMedia’s gaming efforts and digital assets that were part of the AT&T-owned Otter Media, and manage a fan favorite: Turner Classic Movies.
In 2013, Tsujihara became the first Asian American to run a major Hollywood studio. He is the grandson of Japanese immigrants and the son of an egg farmer from Northern California.
