NBC has lost a lot of talent in 2018 — and we’re not talking about the kind you see on-screen. Chairman Bob Greenblatt’s final day leading the network and its studio is Tuesday, when he follows his former lieutenant Jen Salke out the door.
In February, Salke left her role as head of NBC’s scripted team to lead Amazon Studios, a position that was vacated after accusations of sexual misconduct were made against Roy Price. That candidate search, we’ve been told, came down to Salke and Fox’s Dana Walden, who herself should soon be doing big things for Disney.
Three months later, Salke brought Vernon Sanders, who worked with her under his production deal at NBCUniversal, to Amazon as Albert Cheng’s co-head of TV. That recruitment was another blow to NBC. Like Salke, Sanders is both well-respected and generally beloved by his peers in the industry.
