ICE CUBE: Comcast's New Dude

Ice Cubes are all the juicy details A.D. Amorosi couldn't cram into Icepack. Read on to get yer gossip on.

OK, you weren't caught so unaware last week when the news that Jeff Zucker — NBC Universal president and CEO/crusher of Conan O'Brien's dreams — would leave NBCU when its final approval of sale was signed, sealed and delivered by Comcast (its buyer), General Electric (its seller) and all government agencies needed to approve this thing. It didn't look like Zucker and the Robertses of Philadelphia got along. Now comes wire service news that Comcast's chief operating officer, Steve Burke, will become CEO of NBCU upon close of Comcast's purchase. Yay, Kabletown, for sticking close. Burke's been the executive vice president and chief operating officer of Comcast since March and was once the president of Comcast Cable. Zucker will serve in his position until the close of the deal.

Hey Zuck — there's still plenty of time to fuck things up. Stay tuned.
