NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt is poised to step down after leading NBC's turnaround over the past eight years

Variety

Greenblatt, who is expected to step down from his job in May, "has engineered an impressive rebound for the network after ... years in the ratings cellar," reports Variety. "NBC has been a roll in the last two years in particular thanks to the buzzy hit This Is Us. Under Greenblatt, NBC has finished four of the last five seasons as the top-rated primetime network in the 18-49 demo. NBC also finished the 52-week 2017-18 season as the No. 1 network in nearly every ratings measure, including total viewers — the first time since 2001-02 that NBC has taken the total-viewers crown."
