HBO CEO Plepler exits in wake of AT&T acquisition
- by Associated Press
HBO’s chief executive said he is exiting the cable channel, a decision that comes less than a year after AT&T acquired HBO’s parent company. “Hard as it is to think about leaving the company I love, and the people I love in it, it is the right time for me to do so,” Plepler said in a memo Thursday to HBO staffers that was obtained by The Associated Press.
