As studio chief Kevin Tsujihara confirmed on Thursday with news that Warner Bros. has restructured its TV and Home Video divisions, Bruce Rosenblum‘s 26-year run at the company has come to an end.
Tsujihara, who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter on the end of Rosenblum’s tenure, called him “a colleague and a friend” and noted that he “accomplished amazing things.” The exiting Television Group president, who sees his duties shifted to Peter Roth (also now functioning as CCO), sent a memo to staffers on his last day.
Read the memo below:
Dear Warner Bros. Television Group Colleagues,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to let you know that, following several months of uncertainty, my 26-year run at Warner Bros. has come to an end.
I have had the pleasure of working alongside the most talented, creative and innovative people in our business … from our executives and staff to the amazing group of creative talent both in front of and behind the cameras. Each of your contributions helped Warner Bros. set the standard for excellence in the television industry. The magnitude of what you have accomplished has been and continues to be a truly meaningful contribution to Warner Bros.’ overall success and a matter of great pride to myself.
But, for all of our success, what I will take with me are the memories of our team, our culture, and the exceptional creative storytelling that we helped, in some small part, share with the world. I will also take with me all of the relationships and friendships I’ve enjoyed at our great company.
I was fortunate and honored to spend the past 26 years at Warner Bros. I was especially fortunate to have Barry as my mentor and friend for my entire time here at the studio… I want to thank him for everything he did for my family, our company and me during his tenure as chairman and CEO.
I look forward to my future adventures and I am encouraged in knowing that wherever they may be, they will ultimately allow me to cross paths with many of you again.
I truly wish each and every one of you the best in the years ahead. I encourage you to embrace the opportunity to build upon our company’s legacy of television success.
As you can imagine, this is not an easy departure for me, but one that is right for the company, and ultimately my family and me.
With great appreciation, admiration and respect,
Bruce
