Cartoon Network Taps Kerns to Run Web Site

Kitric Kerns has been installed as vp and executive producer for Cartoon Network Digital, a newly created position. In this new role Kerns will essentially be tasked with running CartoonNetwork.com, including the development of content for the site, which features a heavy dosage of full-length episodes of the network’ series along with 200-plus free games.
