Earlier this year, we set some very ambitious goals for the Studio, both operationally and financially, said Tsujihara. In his new role, Reg will be able to draw from more than two decades' experience with Warner Bros. to help us reach those goals. This promotion reflects the many contributions Reg has made to the company throughout his career, and I look forward to working with him in this expanded role.

During his tenure with E&Y, he assisted Warner Bros. with its acquisition of Lorimar Television and assisted Warner Bros./Warner Communications in its merger with Time Inc.
