Steve Burke announces Comcast/NBCU Management Team in Memo

Steve Burke has announced the new management team for the Comcast/NBCU joint venture in a memo today. No major surprises from what had previously been indicated. It confirms that Bob Greenblatt (ex-Showtime) will become Chairman of NBC Entertainment. Also, it will be particularly interesting to see what Dick Ebersol will do with NBC Sports, Versus, The Golf Channel and Comcast's Regional Sports Networks all reporting to him.

The LA Times' Company Town blog notes that there are going to be numerous chairmen running around NBCU's executive suite. Sort of like all the czars in the Obama administration.
