The two former NBC Entertainment executives were ousted as new WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar is putting his stamp on the company. Their exits come a little over two months after HBO Max had a lackluster launch. Greenblatt's official title was chairman of WarnerMedia Entertainment and Direct-to-Consumer. Reilly's title was HBO Max and president, TNT, TBS and TruTV. Also out is Keith Cocozza, the executive vice president of marketing and communication. As a result of the shakeup, Warner Bros. chief Ann Sarnoff will take oversight of all network, film and TV studio and streaming assets. And HBO programming president Casey Bloys will expand his duties to overseeing content on HBO Max, TNT, TBS and TruTV, reporting to Sarnoff. Asked about the departures, Kilar told The New York Times: “Disciplined companies have to make tough decisions.”
