You may have heard that Time Warner named veteran TV exec Randy Falco, formerly president and chief operating officer of the NBC Universal Television Group to head its AOL division.
“With his proven success in operations, business development, video programming and advertising-supported businesses, Randy brings the right tools to run AOL at this important time in its history,” Time Warner President and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Bewkes said in a statement.
That may be, but ValleyWag isn’t prepared to accept the news at face value. The Gawker Media-owned gossip rag reports that Falco doesn’t like email, nor does he comprehend dynamic ad pricing, the very thing AOL relies on to make its bills each month.
And good luck with that.
I’m still waiting for his follow-up to “Rock Me Amadeus.”
C’mon, you were thinking it too when you saw the headline.
