Former HBO chief Jeff Bewkes will become the sole chief operating officer of Time Warner Inc. when Don Logan, with whom he had shared the title of co-chief operating officer, retires at the end of the year, the company said Wednesday.
The announcement appears to clear a path for the eventual succession of Time Warner’s CEO Dick Parsons. Parsons, 57, named Bewkes and Logan, the former chief of Time Inc., as his deputies in May 2002 when he became CEO, replacing the departing Jerry Levin.
