The ex-CNBC czar who thought he had a lock on NBC's Weather Channel top gig has egoed himself out of a job. Bill Bolster apparently was so confident he was the only guy in the running that he refused to move to Atlanta where the Weather Channel is, demanding NBC pay for a private plane.NBC prez Jeff Zucker and GE head Jeff Immelt are flying commercial these days. Bolster's demand flies in the face of Zucker's across-the-board NBC budget cuts.
Bolster worked miracles at CNBC when he arrived there in 1996 and apparently still believes the press.
Looks like NBC is sending Bolster a message to get him to back off, or the network's simply done with him.
If you're going to be stupid, you better be tough.
ReplyDeletebolster is a bully and that is his best attribute.
