Wright may be named chief executive of NBC.

A trade journal reported that Robert Wright, president of General Electric Financial Services, is in line to succeed Grant Tinker at NBC when Tinker leaves sometime around Labor Day. Wright, 43, left GE in December, 1979, to become president of Cox Cable but was brought back to General Electric in May, 1983, and became president of the highly profitable Financial Services, which includes the GE Credit Corp., in March, 1984. A spokesman for GE refused to comment on the story. Tinker was vacationing in Europe and was not available for comment.
