Dauman Tightens Reins at MTV Networks

With McGrath out, execs now report directly to him

Now that former MTV Networks head Judy McGrath is out of the picture, Viacom chief Philippe Dauman is tightening his hold on the company’s cable networks division, the New York Post reports.

Viacom has said that he has no plans to replace McGrath, and that executives in charge of MTV Networks’ divisions (which include MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central) who had been under McGrath in the corporate hierarchy will now report directly to Dauman, and according to a Post source, the restructured networks branch will be named Viacom Networks.
