As part of a restructuring, NBCUniversal named Susan Rovner on Monday as its chairman of entertainment content, a job that gives her creative control over the company’s TV and streaming properties. The appointment of Ms. Rovner, a longtime Warner Bros. executive, is yet another move in a monthslong reshuffling at NBCUniversal’s television holdings. Ms. Rovner is now effectively the creative counterpart to Frances Berwick, who was named the chairman of NBCUniversal’s entertainment networks in August. (Ms. Berwick does not have business control over Peacock; that belongs to Matt Strauss.) In May, he put Mark Lazarus in charge of the company’s entertainment properties and Cesar Conde in control of the NBC Universal News Group.
