Legendary TV executive Judith McGrath, one of the few women smart enough to work her way up the ranks to become Chairman and CEO of mega entertainment corporation MTV Networks, just resigned from her position. Ms. McGrath said, “The people of MTV Networks have always been singularly important to me. Together we have built world-class brands that connect with fans from kid to adulthood, from SpongeBob to Hot In Cleveland, from Unplugged to The Daily Show. We have attracted and nurtured the best talent in the world, and I know that will always be a hallmark of the company. Creatively, financially, all the brands and businesses are in wonderful shape today. I leave with pride, joy and gratitude for the ride of a lifetime. I especially thank my friends and colleagues on the senior team, who will continue to lead a kick-ass organization. They have my respect and affection, always.” Viacom President and Chief Executive Officer Philippe Dauman said “We will all miss Judy enormously, but we respect her decision and understand her desire to leave at the very top of the game with a legacy of success that stretches from the earliest days of cable television to current season highlights. The networks under her direction are rapidly expanding to new platforms and reaching new creative and ratings milestones, all under the able guidance of experienced and talented management teams. With a deep executive bench and our popular and growing stable of media network brands, we are confident that Viacom won’t miss a beat and will flourish.” Who takes over for Judy? Who knows, but Doug Herzog, Van Toffler and Cyma Zarghami are all left to fight for it. Someone may take her space but never her place. You go girl.
