WARNER BROTHERS - SCHLEIFF OUT AT COURT TV

Henry Schleiff is out as CEO of Court TV as Time Warner assumes from Liberty Media the 50 percent of the cable network that it doesn't already own. Broadcasting and Cable magazine said that Schleiff had decided to step down -- he reportedly will retain the title of chairman of Court TV but not that of CEO -- because he "didn't see any particular fit" within the new structure, in which the channel is to become part of Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting unit. There had been numerous rumors recently that Schleiff would take over as head of CNN Headline News channel, but those appeared to be shot down earlier this week by a company spokesperson.
