story category DirecTV Loses CEO Carey
Will become Rupert Murdoch's right hand man
03:32PM Thursday Jun 04 2009 by Karl Bode
tags: business · DIRECTV
Confirming one of the worst kept secrets so far this year, DirecTV CEO Chase Carey is quitting his job at DirecTV to return to News Corporation, where he'll be Rupert Murdoch's right hand man. Under Carey's watch, DirecTV renegotiated their exclusive deal with the NFL (the bane of cable and telcoTV viewers everywhere), led the industry in HD channel total and quality, and fused with Liberty Media. One notable thing Carey didn't try to do was force the company back into the broadband business after several previous failed attempts. Carey's new boss, Rupert Murdoch, hasn't had much nice to say about DirecTV over the years, at one point calling the company "a turd bird."

Misstated!

Misstated! Actually Chase Carey will be Rupert Murdoch's Right, Right Hand Man. In your heart you know he will be right, extreme right. I wonder if Chase jumped ship in view of the fact that AT&T will purchase Direct TV.

LOL... whenever the entire US has fiber to the home. 2030?

Carey got scared when DishNetwork and other cable companies passed them up in the number of national HD channels they carry.
