Ex-TV exec to lead Yahoo media group

Braun, 46, was fired in April from his post as chairman of ABC Entertainment Television Group, a division of Walt Disney. According to The Los Angeles Times, he was ousted at a time when network had just two shows in television's top 30. Among the other former jobs on his resume are chairman of Disney's Buena Vista Television Productions, president of Brillstein-Grey Entertainment, and partner at the law firm of Silverberg, Katz, Thompson & Braun.
