Chairman

NBC Sports Group

CHANGE FROM 2014: +5

Sure, Lazarus oversees the top prime-time program on broadcast TV in “Sunday Night Football,” and dominates weekend mornings with his EPL coverage. But 2015 was marked by new programming that came to NBC Sports Group. In the spring, he brought boxing back to prime-time broadcast TV. Over the summer, he brought NASCAR back to NBC for the first time since 2006. And in the fall he closed a deal to bring the British Open over to NBC a year early.
