Retired President/CEO of Capital Cities/ABC, Inc., Daniel B. Burke died on Wednesday at his home in Rye, NY. He was 82. Mr. Burke served as President/CEO from 1990 until his retirement in 1994 and before that was President/COO of Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. since 1972. As a distinguished media industry leader, Mr. Burke spent more than 30 years at Capital Cities starting in 1961 as GM of WTEN/Albany. He was elected as VP of Capital Cities in 1962 and in 1964 became GM of WJR-AM/FM in Detroit. Mr. Burke later was appointed EVP/Director of Capital Cities in 1967 and a short time after was named President of the Publishing Division from 1969 to 1972. Mr. Burke and his long-time friend and business partner Tom Murphy became nationally well-known after Capital Cities acquired the American Broadcasting Companies (ABC) in January 1986. At the time, the deal was the largest non-oil merger in business history. Two years following Mr. Burke’s retirement, Capital Cities/ABC was sold to The Walt Disney Company. Many civic achievements and activities comprised Mr. Burke’s career including serving as Director of The Partnership for a Drug-Free America and Chairman Emeritus of New York Presbyterian Hospital (now Columbia Presbyterian). In 1990, President George H.W. Bush named Mr. Burke to the Hungarian-American Enterprise Fund and he additionally served on the board of directors for several organizations and companies including his alma mater, the University of Vermont, The National Urban League and Morgan Stanley Group, Inc. among others. Following his retirement, Mr. Burke established a minor league baseball franchise, the Sea Dogs in Portland, ME. Mr. Burke is survived by his wife of 54 years, Harriet “Bunny” Burke, four children and fourteen grandchildren. A visitation service will be held at the Graham Funeral Home in Rye, NY on October 30 from 3p to 7p and the funeral will be at St. Martha Church in Kennebunk, ME on November 1 at 11a. Instead of flowers, the family requests donations to Maine Medical Center, The Partnership for a Drug Free America or the Naomie Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University Medical Center.

different capacity.
