IGER AND ABC
The April 9 puff piece on ABC Entertainment President Ted Harbert was the height of vacuous self-promotion (“Networking, ‘90s Style,” by Rick Du Brow).
Harbert inherited a network already on the rise, and no credit or mention was given to the previous architect of that ascent: former ABC President Robert Iger.
Iger moved up and handed Harbert the reins. Iger did a rather brilliant job, which is why Harbert has so much time on his hands to do publicity.
