In a bloodbath Tuesday at WarnerMedia before the Discovery merger, add HBO Max Head Andy Forssell to the list of exiting executives. He joins WarnerMedia studios and networks group chairman and CEO Ann Sarnoff and WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar.
It’s been buzzed that Discovery CEO David Zaslav does not like layers. Well, three layers just got depleted.
Interestingly enough, Forssell, Kilar and Sarnoff were part of a sit-down with media reporters back in October. This was perceived by some to be an exit tour, even though Kilar was mum at the time about his rumored departure.
Deadline has confirmed through a source close to the matter.
We’ll update when we receive a statement from WarnerMedia.
