CBS Entertainment Chair Nina Tassler Leaves Without Regret
She’s switching to family friendly programming. After 18 years as a top media exec, the Jewish Latina is stepping down to make time for her teenage daughter and 82-year-old mother. She acknowledged that the move, coming halfway through her current contract, got the industry rumor mill turning, but said it was really about doing what was best for her and her family. She’ll remain an advisor for two years, but the baton passes to Glenn Geller, who faces the challenge of maintaining Tassler’s ratings.
