Pulling the Plug at Circuit City
Circuit City, the floundering electronics retailer, pushed out chairman and chief executive Philip Schoonover tonight.
In a press release, the new chairman, Alan King, said the move was made to accelerate the company's turnaround.
At the same time, the company said it expects its second-quarter loss to be less than the $170 million to $185 million it had previously forecast. That figure excludes unusual and noncash charges.
Circuit City is scheduled to release results for that quarter, which ended August 31, next Monday.
