As he prepares to leave Turner, David Levy plots his next move
David Levy hasn't started packing all the Emmy statuettes, photographs and memorabilia that make his office look for all the world like a museum exhibit documenting his three decades in the media business, but eventually he'll start breaking out the cardboard moving boxes. There's no rush; for the next few months, the outgoing Turner president will remain stationed in his aerie in the south tower of the Time Warner Center.
On the day he formally announced his resignation from Turner, Levy's phone has been blowing up. League officials, TV personalities and franchise owners have called and sent texts to wish him welland in one case, to implore him to reconsider. One notable from the world of sports phones to tell Levy that he's looking forward to seeing what the media mastermind cooks up next before signing off with a dark joke about hanging himself.
People, it seems, are going to miss Levy when he's gone. But he won't be away for long.
