Former Time Warner CEO Gerald Levin, architect of the failed AOL-Time Warner merger, died Wednesday. He was 84 years old. Although he was known for the disastrous 2000 AOL merger – for which Time Warner took a record $100 billion write-down in 2002 – Levin’s early career was highlighted by his decision to distribute premium service HBO on satellite (which created the first national cable network), his help in arranging the acquisition of Warner Communications (which brought Warner Bros. Studios and Warner Music into the fold), and the purchase of Turner Broadcasting (which substantially increased its content portfolio). He stepped down as CEO in 2002.
