Jeff Bewkes, the then-chief executive of Time Warner who engineered the 2016 deal to sell the entertainment giant to AT&T for $85 billion, pulls no punches in his claims about how his successors managed the company in a coming book about HBO
committed malpractice in its stewardship of Time Warner, according to the man who led the sale of the parent of HBO, Warner Bros. and CNN to the telecommunications giant.
While Mr. Bewkes doesn’t express regret over the decision to sell to AT&T, he said he is angry about how his team of top executives and the staff were treated.left after clashes “The most disappointing thing to me about the AT&T merger,” Mr. Bewkes is quoted in the book as saying, is that he and his board thought AT&T “would basically leave our people alone.” That didn’t happen, he said. “We didn’t think they would go to such a level of malpractice as to not listen to anybody…even though they themselves had no experience in those areas.”
