Moore had a rising Howard Cosell removed from ABC television on-air work in 1959 because he didn't like him. Cosell's removal was rumored to be linked to anti-Semitism, but Cosell himself never directly ascribed to that explanation.[4]
He left ABC to become chairman of computerized event ticketing company Ticketron and, in December 1970, resigned to become president of newly formed General Electric subsidiary and production company, Tomorrow Entertainment.[5] The shows they produced were nominated for ten Emmy Awards, winning at least five.[citation needed]
