Viacom is acquiring the youth-skewing digital media company AwesomenessTV, which will live under Viacom Digital Studios (VDS).

Viacom has revealed plans to license and produce for third parties new episodes of content from across its portfolio of brands, beginning with the launch of MTV Studios.

Pamela Kaufman has been appointed to the new role of president of Viacom/Nickelodeon Global Consumer Products.

Viacom CEO Bob Bakish has been lined up to deliver the International Keynote at the RTS London Conference 2018.

At Viacom’s first-ever Digital Content NewFront, the company unveiled Viacom Digital Studios and revealed its slate of digital programming for Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and BET.

Viacom has reported better-than-expected earnings in the second fiscal quarter, with its film unit having swung back to a profit.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2018, Viacom saw an 8 percent decrease in revenues to $3.07 billion, with weaker performances from the filmed entertainment and media networks segments.

Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has appointed company veteran Melody Tan as chief operating officer, replacing Jose Tolosa, who becomes chief transformation officer for parent company Viacom.

Revenues were up 6 percent in the fiscal year and 3 percent in Q4 at Viacom, powered in part by improved advertising and affiliate revenues at its international networks.

The company's president and CEO talks about boosting the flagship brands and continuing to offer viewers the content they want in as many ways as possible.
