In a memo to staffers released yesterday, Jeff Gaspin, who serves as Chairman/NBC Universal Television Entertainment announced he was leaving NBCU soon after the company’s merger with Comcast is final. Last week, reports speculated that Gaspin would leave NBCU once the merger deal was complete. In his memo, Gaspin said he had “many good conversations with new NBCU CEO Steve Burke about his role at the new NBCU.”  However, Gaspin said he and Burke could not agree on how he would fit into the company following the merger. Gaspin has been with NBCU for 19 years serving in various capacities including finance, news, cable and broadcast and in his current role since July 2009.  Gaspin concluded his memo to fellow staffers by saying, “I leave NBC Universal with an obvious sense of sadness and loss, but I’ll be forever grateful for my relationships with my colleagues and those who gave me a chance to participate in the success of this great company. It’s been an exhilarating ride – and I thank you for sharing it with me.”
