 NEW YORK (AP) - Fourth-placed NBC fired chief programming executive Kevin Reilly on Tuesday only three months after giving him a new three-year contract.
Reilly was replaced by the two-man team of Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff. Silverman owned a production company responsible for bringing shows like "The Office" and "Ugly Betty" to American television, while Graboff has been a veteran TV executive concentrating primarily on the business side.
NBC Universal acted quickly because it was eager to bring on Silverman, who had told NBC Universal chief executive Jeff Zucker within the past two weeks that he was thinking of selling Reveille Productions, his independent firm.
