Weiss to UMG?

WEISS GUY: The Barry Weiss-to-UMG scenario continues to be a heavy topic of water-cooler conversation, with the RCA/Jive head possibly winding up in a high-level job at the reconfigured UMG East Coast entity. But some question why Weiss would walk away from what appears on paper to be a bigger job. Most observers believe it would be inconceivable that Weiss would leave before he knows who will be the next head of Sony Music—especially considering that the top job could be his somewhere down the line. At UMG, by contrast, he’d have to get in line behind several senior executives, starting with Lucian Grainge himself. (11/4p)
