Comcast announced the immediate departure of Jeff Shell, the CEO of NBCUniversal, after an investigation into an "inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company."

Shell admitted to the relationship, but did not provide any further details. Comcast has yet to specify how Shell violated company policy, and has yet to take steps to ensure similar incidents do not occur in the future.
