Bill Nelson named HBO chairman and CEO

NEW YORK, June 5 (UPI) -- Time Warner Tuesday removed the temporary designation from Bill Nelson's title as chairman and CEO for U.S. cable network HBO.

Nelson had been named interim chief executive officer in the wake of Chris Albrecht's departure in May after reports of an alleged battery incident in Las Vegas.
