Default Ben Frow promoted to Director of Programmes at Viacom
He's now in charge of content across all Viacom brands: Channel 5 (and 5Star, 5USA and 5Spike), Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Network.

He *vows* to spend more on original commissioning for the brands.

How this toad has been promoted I'll never know

Because
he Helped the Americans save big Cash
by Deleting the Endemol Big Brother Production.


There was even a 5* SkyMoviesHD
the other week.


Also
Viacom
(merger with CBS Corporation pending)

He could get even more Shows
from CBS
if they finally merge.

How has he been promoted?

Hasn't channel 5 recorded their lowest viewership in years and a fall in shares since he took over?

On the plus side we can probably look forward to more foul language,unfunny comedies and totally ridiculous every day tasks performed in the nude! (Probably by people who don't know what sex they are or who/what they want to have it off with)!
