NBC’s Zucker To Get Passed Over For Freston?

On the list of casual candidates? Ousted Viacom CEO Tom Freston.
The network, however, says there “is no search.” And Wright has not indicated when he would step down, all of which would seem to indicate a non-story here. But the lure of a “Zucker Punch” headline is too hard to resist.
