Viacom has revealed a new structure for its Media Networks group, streamlining it into four teams.<\/p>\n

The Comedy Central, Paramount Network and TV Land group will be led by Kent Alterman as president. Chris McCarthy will expand his current role as president of MTV, VH1 and Logo to now include CMT. Alterman and McCarthy will continue to report to CEO Bob Bakish. There are no changes to BET Networks or Nickelodeon. Kevin Kay will step down as president of Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT after a transition period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese changes mark the next step in the ongoing evolution of our company as we continue to ensure we\u2019re making the most of our great assets and resources, and operating as nimbly and efficiently as we can,\u201d said Bakish. \u201cComedy Central, Paramount Network and TV Land share an original content strategy anchored in scripted programming, and CMT\u2014with its deep roots in music and unscripted programming\u2014is a natural partner for MTV and VH1. Kent and Chris have been driving forces behind Viacom\u2019s flagship strategy, re-energizing and growing two of our most iconic brands, and I can\u2019t wait to see what they do next.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the course of his career at Viacom, Kevin\u2019s creative vision and gift for telling great stories have made a lasting impact,\u201d Bakish added. \u201cThanks to the efforts of Kevin and his team, we have successfully established Paramount Network as a home for premium content, and TV Land and CMT continue to be dominant forces in the audiences they serve. I\u2019m so grateful for the many contributions they have made in evolving and strengthening these world-class brands for their next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
