The Bob Wright Interview that will end an era

Fortune magazine issued a press release that it landed an *EXCLUSIVE* interview with outgoing NBC Universal Chairman Bob Wright. We don't know why the major effort to announce the interview but unless Bob Wright will reveal some kind of secret, like the hate he has for Jeff Zucker, or his wife is really a man, it will basically be more of the same right? In an exclusive interview, FORTUNE's Tim Arango spoke with outgoing chairman of NBC Universal Bob Wright about a variety of topics including the future of the network, prior failed attempts to sell the network, his former boss, Jack Welch, and his successor Jeff Zucker, among others. During the interview, Wright raised an interesting scenario: Early next year Time Warner can separate its cable business from its content businesses without incurring a large tax liability--an event, he says, that could spur efforts to combine NBC Universal and Time Warner, parent of FORTUNE's publisher. "It would be a great combination," he says. The interview, "Bob Wright's Next Move," appears in the March 5 issue of FORTUNE and is currently available at http://www.fortune.com/. Wait up. An NBC Uni, Time Warner link up? Guess its not more of the same. Juicy!!! Damn Jeff Zucker's new gig could already be on shaky grounds.
