His leadership and strategic development skills, combined with his experience of running large scale and fast moving operations, will be a clear competitive advantage for us moving forward. Not only does he understand and have established networks in the distribution world, but he also has a wealth of experience in building successful consumer brands. We have strong local country management teams, who will work closely with Anders to further accelerate the development of our broadcasting operations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJensen added: &ldquo;MTG is a great company and a market leading entertainment business operating across four continents so this is an exciting opportunity for me. Video viewing is on the rise and TV remains the impact media of choice for advertisers seeking scale audiences with attractive demographics. At the same time, radio provides the perfect complement to TV when it comes to on and offline reach during the day&mdash;both in and out of the home. In addition, MTG&rsquo;s Scandinavian free-TV channels are also a well-established and key part of broadband operators&rsquo; content offerings. I look forward to working with MTG&rsquo;s highly motivated and talented teams and to contributing to the group&rsquo;s continued success.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STOCKHOLM: Modern Times Group (MTG) has appointed Anders Jensen as the executive VP of the group&#039;s Scandinavian free-TV and radio operations, a newly created role that reports directly to J&oslash;rgen Madsen Lindemann, the president and CEO of MTG.
