>Two key executives, marketing chief Tricia Melton and senior vp marketing and partnerships at Cartoon Network and Adult Swim Jill King, are leaving the newly merged company at year’s end as Bronzo appears poised to further consolidate those operations within the newly merged conglomerate.
King was with Warners for 22 years, helping to create The Powerpuff Girls, Adventure Time, Rick and Morty, Steven Universe, and more.
Melton joined in 2020, and was behind the Rick and Morty S6 'Wormageddon' event.

Because those higher up people messed up when AT&T was in charge and created a toxic environment of nepotism. Now David Zaslav is trying to clean up the mess for better or worse

I was on Zaslav side until this. I can understand nuking ship on DC and other ways to consolidate, but I really can’t wrap my head around this.

Not necessarilly "make" the show, but developing the fan base and attracting viewers? Absolutely. There's a reason even moving a show to a different time slot can be a death knell. It doesn't matter how good the content is if nobody watches it.

Damn. That’s an impressive line of work. Agree this merger is ass.

Cartoon Network had one of the most unique and rich cultures. I love all the series I have been able to watch through it, change is inevitable though. It probably won't be the end of animation, just animation will be max originals, more geared towards adults. Shows for young adults and teens, there's still a kids section on the service, but they probably won't be making more for it, they don't seem to believe children's entertainment is profitable.

LOL, wtf how are marketers related to creating TV shows? They're are the one making ads for these shows. I can't believe this got upvoted, this sub is truly full of morons. And these types of position is the redundancy need to cut after mergers, you don't need too many marketing people.
