Robert Kintner

Robert Kintner (September 12, 1909 – December 3, 1980) was a journalist and television executive who oversaw the development of the NBC and ABC television networks. From 1950-56 he served as the president of ABC. In 1956 he switched networks and became the president of NBC for two years. He was active in the quiz show scandals of the 1950s claiming that the individual quiz shows acted independently from that of the wishes of the network. In 1966 he joined the staff of President Lyndon Johnson as a cabinet secretary.
