MTV president Sean Atkins is leaving his position with the network after just over a year on the job, TheWrap has confirmed.
Atkins made the surprising announcement on Monday morning in an internal message to staffers. “I apologize for the shock to your Monday morning, but I have some news to share that will come as a surprise,” Atkins wrote. “I have decided to step down from my post as President of MTV. I’ll be consulting on the transition through January in an advisory role.”
“I’m so deeply impressed with the team here and so grateful to have been part of it,” he continued.
