-- Yahoo Names Ex-ABC Chairman As Media Head: Yahoo has appointed a new media & entertainment head, and a high profile one at that: Lloyd Braun, who was ousted last year as the chairman of ABC Entertainment. Braun said he believed that he could bring the same skills used in TV to creating new entertainment for Yahoo.
WSJ: (sub. req.) He said he didn't have a specific mandate and didn't see any problem areas at Yahoo that needed fixing [Strange way to start a job]. Braun's responsibilities will include Yahoo's content related to movies, TV, entertainment, music, games, finance, news and weather, sports, health and kids.

You know, I remember reading about Lloyd Braun when he was ABC president and I've always wondered if "Seinfeld" deliberately named the character after him.

I wouldn't put it past them -- they've based characters on real-life people or given them real-life names before.
