NBC’s Falco jumps to AOL

NBCU Television Group President and COO Randy Falco has accepted the CEO post at Time Warner’s AOL division, replacing Jon Miller. “AOL is clearly headed in the right direction,” Falco said in a statement, referring to the recent move beyond subscriptions to an advertising-based model. “I have full faith in its future as a leader among Time Warner businesses. My challenge will be to execute on the strategy that I believe will make AOL once again the leader of the online world.” It will be interesting to watch Falco’s influence on bringing more of a media strategy to AOL in the months to come.
