- Transfer
After the new boss came to AOL - Randy Falcofrom NBC - many company executives leave it (or plan to leave), which is not surprising with such a sharp change of power. At the same time, they talk unofficially about what happened to former CEO Jon Miller. At the moment, it is obvious that the source of information is people from his immediate environment. In their opinion, the unexpected appointment of Falco can only mean one thing: AOL will be separated and sold over the next year. They do not believe that Falco has intentions to really focus on developing new products and become as familiar to online services as Miller began to become, and they can’t do without it if the company is going to compete with Yahoo and Google.
The same sources add that the intrigue of raising Falco actually comes down to a personal confrontation between Miller and Falco. It was probably planned that Falco would come to the company to become the second person after Miller, but neither one nor the other had a high opinion of his vis-a-vis and when it was necessary to decide the matter radically, the victory remained with Falco. According to some reports, he was greatly helped by his former NBC deputy, David Zaslav, who was certainly interested in leaving Falco, as this allowed him to terminate the contract with NBC and become the new Discovery CEO. They say that a rumor was launched in the press that the question of Miller’s resignation had already been resolved, and that Falco would come to his place in AOL (Miller learned from his journalist about his dismissal, what a nightmare!), And this rumor was used as a source of information on NBC Games of the Titans ... Very entertaining.
