Game of Thrones News Corp style
Keen readers of Dr Mumbo will know he is a big fan of paranoid speculation, and loves to share when the latest rumours doing the rounds land on his desk.
Much has been written about the length of News Corp CEO Julian Clarke’s tenture in the role, beyond being a safe pair of hands in the post Kim Williams era, and also the broader aspirations of Ten boss Hamish McLennan.
But what if Hamish’s wider ambitions were for Fox Studios in America, where he would report directly to 21st Century Fox CEO Chase Carey? Not a bad gig most would agree, and one with a pretty rosy future, running one of the most profitable arms of the Murdoch empire.
According to the scuttlebutt, Ten’s current underperformance would not be a hurdle to this career move in a year or two.
What would Lachlan do?
@Jon – this may well become my new mantra
One thing is certain. no matter who mans the CEO post, Rupert calls the shots.
I hear Tony Blair is looking for a gig.. He’s got awesome references and knows the family “intimately”
Haha, I hope there is some truth to these rumours. Nicole would be a hoot compared to the drongos running the other two networks who use buzzwords like “smah”, “bash” and “thrash”.
Interesting that no one feels Brian Walsh would be a candidate for Beverley’s role at Ten..
It will be the “Drama Event” of the year
