Popkowski: MTVN Exit for Family Reasons

By Multi Channel News Staff -- Multichannel News, 4/26/2002 1:10:00 PM

Former MTV Networks president of U.S. ad sales John Popkowski denied Friday that his exit from the company in 2000 was prompted in any way by differences over strategy or increased Viacom Inc. scrutiny of MTVN's ad-sales department.

He restated his initial explanation for his exit, which was that he wanted to spend more time with his family.

'I left for the reasons I said,' Popkowski said.

He added that he maintains a good relationship with Viacom president Mel Karmazin and he continues to consult for MTVN.
