NBCU to Form New Media Technology Organization

NEW YORK, August 3: Darren Feher, the executive VP and chief
technology officer for NBC Universal, is expanding his role within the company,
focusing on the creation of an organization dedicated to digital product
innovation and emerging technology.

Feher will continue to report to John Eck, the president of
NBC TV Network and Media Works. He will add new technology and engineering
teams concentrating on the areas of digital asset management, content
distribution, production and commercial planning across NBCU's broad portfolio
of assets. He will continue to lead the company's external industry technology
outreach efforts and oversee NBCU's Technology Growth Center (TGC), which

development groups for mobile, interactive TV, gaming, and online sites and
video. As part of this change, he will turn responsibility for the information
technology operations team over to Chris Furst, the executive VP and chief

Eck.
