NEW YORK (Reuters) - NBC Universal's top executive Jeff Zucker will leave after Comcast Corp takes control, Zucker wrote in a memo to the company on Friday.
NBC Universal is being merged with COMCAST (CMCSA.NQ)Corp's entertainment unit in a joint venture with current owner General Electric Co, pending the outcome of a government review.
Zucker, who has been with the company for 24 years, said the move would be the right decision for NBC Universal and for himself. He said he did not know what he would do next.
"I haven't even begun to think about the next chapter," he said in the memo, which Reuters obtained via email.
