Parsons had already announced his intentions to relinquish the job, but hadn't said when he would.

Time Warner (TWX) shares hit an all time low of $7 last month.

MarketWatch wonders if the timing has something to do with a Parsons' role with the Obama administration. He'd been a member of Obama's economic team during the transition.

It's not likely, but one can hope being both the chairman and CEO will allow once-renowned dealmaker Bewkes to quit talking about and actually act on his plans to spin AOL out of the company and into Yahoo (YHOO).
