Viacom President & CEO Philippe Dauman unveiled two newly created organizations via a Thursday internal memo as part of his company’s restructuring.
The new setup consolidates three domestic groups into two: Doug Herzog will lead Viacom Music and Entertainment Group, while Cyma Zarghami will run the expanded Viacom Kids and Family Group.
“The new groups are an enormous opportunity for us to take advantage of our strong creative teams, to share our expertise, and to promote greater cross marketing and, in some cases, cross channel programming activity,” Dauman wrote in an email obtained by TheWrap.
The Viacom Music and Entertainment Group will consist of MTV, MTV2, LOGO, VH1, Comedy Central and Spike, as well as the related digital networks and MTV’s “Always On.”
