XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX FRI JAN 10, 2003 12:01:35 ET XXXXX SHAKEUP AT NBC: ZUCKER SAID TO GET MORE POWERS; OVER NBC NEWS, ENTERTAINMENT **World Exclusive** The question swirling around, up and over Broadcast Row Friday morning was: Does NBC's Jeff Zucker get a full-Moonves or a half-Moonves?! The DRUDGE REPORT has learned that the current President of Entertainment at NBC will soon be granted expanded powers: Jeff Zucker will rule over NBC's News Division, in an unprecedented expansion of powers at the peacock. [Sources say Zucker will not be over the network's Sports Division. No Full-Moonves.] With the exit of NBC's Andy Lack to head SONY RECORDS [Lack is said to have picked up Billboard magazine for the first time this week], a chain of events has been set in to motion at NBC, insiders tell DRUDGE. GENERAL ELECTRIC Chairman Jeff Immelt is said to be behind the dynamic Zucker trajectory. Zucker will be over all of the network's news interests, including TODAY show [Zucker's old haunt], CNBC and MSNBC; on top of everything entertainment. Zucker is a media powerplayer with political bent. "Being a senator would interest me," he recently told the NEW YORK TIMES. Liz Smith reported that Zucker expressed an interest in being the White House spokesman, if Al Gore had been elected president.
