Rather than embracing a grandiose strategy, he started by selling what was easiest to sell while asking shareholders to be patient. After some strategic twisting and turning, he decided to spin off Universal to NBC, with Vivendi retaining a 20% stake in the venture. "He's not a screamer," says a company insider.

The highest-rated broadcasts often feature races that are the easiest to predict; the most-watched show to date was the year Titanic was guaranteed to cast all of its competitors to sea.
