Viacom Appoints Bob Bakish CEO; Board of Directors Discontinue Exploration of Potential Combination with CBS
Original Viacom Inc. Press Release via Business Wire:
December 12, 2016 03:31 PM Eastern Standard Time
Bob Bakish (Photo: Business Wire)
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board of Directors of Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAB, VIA) announced today that it has discontinued the exploration of a potential combination with CBS following receipt of National Amusements’ letter and request, and dissolved the Special Committee that was formed to evaluate a potential transaction. It has appointed Bob Bakish as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board, effective immediately.
Mr. Bakish has served as Acting President and Chief Executive Officer of Viacom since November 15. He has held leadership positions throughout the organization since joining in 1997, most recently serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of Viacom International Media Networks prior to his Acting CEO role.
Tom May, Chairman of the Board, said, “In Bob’s short time as Acting President and CEO he has impressed the Board of Directors with the decisive steps he has taken. He has moved quickly to deliver upon the mandate given to him – to maximize Viacom’s potential as a strong, growing and independent company. We have great confidence in Bob’s strategic vision and his ability to move forward aggressively to position Viacom for the future.”
Shari Redstone, Vice Chair of the Board, said, “I am very excited by the strategy Viacom is pursuing under Bob’s leadership, as well as the relentless hard work and passion he has demonstrated not only in his fast start at the helm but in his many years at the company. While there is much work to do, I firmly believe that Viacom has a bright future, and that confidence is underpinned by senior management’s commitment to innovation and a more coordinated, global approach to managing our brands.”
Bob Bakish, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am honored to be chosen by the Board to lead Viacom, its world-class brands and exceedingly talented people. I believe unequivocally in this company and its potential to create new opportunities and drive greater value as our business evolves and our industry transforms. We've been working very quickly to mobilize the organization, reenergize our culture and address our areas of greatest need. I look forward to continuing to work closely with the Board and our team to build on this momentum, and will share more on our plan and path forward in the New Year.”
About Bob Bakish
Prior to his Acting CEO role, Bob Bakish was President and CEO of Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN), and its predecessor company MTV Networks International, since 2007, with oversight of all of Viacom’s media networks and related businesses outside the U.S. In this role, he drove the development of its international portfolio of core TV brands, with MTV and Nickelodeon being joined by Comedy Central, Paramount Channel, BET, Spike and Nick Jr. on pay and free TV platforms worldwide. In addition, Bakish has overseen the creation and growth of the company’s Viacom18 Indian joint venture, which includes the Colors general entertainment networks, as well as the acquisition of Channel 5 in the U.K., and Telefe in Argentina.
Under Bakish, the company consistently grew profitability while expanding its TV, online and geographic footprint. Viacom’s 200 plus TV channels now reach a cumulative 3.9 billion subscribers across more than 180 countries and broadcast in more than 40 languages. Bakish has also overseen the transition from TV to multiplatform distribution, with VIMN significantly growing online engagement with its video content, having launched a range of cutting edge digital properties including the Viacom Play Plex suite of mobile streaming apps that give on-demand access to the best TV content from its brands, all while building its branded presence on 3rd party video-on-demand and social media platforms, with an estimated 850 million fans and followers worldwide.
Bakish’s growth strategy for VIMN also involved substantially increasing the amount of original programming produced by Viacom internationally, driven in part by the recently opened Viacom International Studios in Miami, and Channel 5 Productions in the UK. In addition, he has expanded the off-screen presence of VIMN's brands through live events, stores, theme parks and hotels.
Bakish has delivered significant growth in some of the world’s most valuable media markets including established markets like the U.K., Italy and Spain, as well as higher growth markets such as India, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, China, Russia and Africa.
Previously, Mr. Bakish was President, MTV Networks International, running MTVN’s operations outside the U.S. He previously served as EVP, Operations and Viacom Enterprises, and prior to that as EVP and Chief Operating Officer, MTV Networks Advertising Sales. Prior to joining MTV Networks, Mr. Bakish was SVP, Planning, Development and Technology at Viacom. Before joining Viacom in February 1997, Mr. Bakish was a partner with Booz Allen & Hamilton in its Media and Entertainment practice.
Mr. Bakish received an M.B.A. from the Columbia Business School in 1989 and a B.S. in Operations Research from Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Science in 1985.

Peppa Pig Heading To Cinemas In The UK And Australia In 2017
Entertainment One (eOne) has unveiled big screen theatrical releases for the hit preschool property Peppa Pig in the U.K. and Australia in 2017!
In Australia, the theatrical release of Peppa Pig My First Cinema Experience: Peppa’s Australian Holiday will mark the property’s first big-screen debut in the country when it premieres on Thursday 16th March 2017. The Australian release will begin with a four-part special that sees Peppa and family head down under to visit an old friend. Meanwhile, Peppa Pig My First Cinema Experience, which was designed specifically for a preschool audience, will screen in theaters across the U.K. on Friday 7th April 2017.
In Peppa Pig My First Cinema Experience, the nine brand-new five-minute episodes of Peppa Pig and sing-along content will only be available in cinemas. The episodes will be connected with never-before-seen interactive entertainment featuring live-action Peppa and George characters, along with their friend Daisy. The release will include special appearances from new characters including Policeman Panda voiced by David Mitchell and Mrs Crocodile voiced by Jo Brand. In the first episode, titled “Peppa Vists London,” the Queen will make a return to Peppa Pig, as she takes Peppa and friends on an unforgettable sight-seeing tour around London on a double decker bus. Eight additional episodes will see a trip to the zoo, a cruise along a canal and some advice from the police. To celebrate, eOne has released the first UK teaser trailer and film poster. Children and parents can join in with games as well as singing and dancing along to new versions of favourite nursery rhymes.
Peppa Pig My First Cinema Experience: Peppa’s Australian Holiday will feature the voices of a real Australian family. To promote the film’s release in Australia, eOne has partnered with the Australian Tourist Board, and Peppa and George costumes were part of a promotional photo-shoot at Australian landmarks Hickson Bay Wharf Reserve and Taronga Zoo. To coincide with the theatrical release, a collection of London- and Australia-themed Peppa Pig merchandise will be released at retail in spring 2017 across categories such as toys, accessories and publishing.
Rebecca Harvey, the head of marketing at Entertainment One Family, said, “We’ve had huge demand from fans in the U.K. and Australia for a Peppa Pig cinema event and we’re all incredibly excited to be bringing fans what we hope will be an unforgettable cinema experience. It’s also a great opportunity for licensees and retailers to capitalize on all the excitement that the cinema release is sure to generate.”
Airing regularly on Nick Jr. UK & Ireland and Nick Jr. Australia & New Zealand, Peppa Pig follows the adventures of Peppa, a loveable, exuberant little piggy who lives with her brother George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig. Peppa's favorite things include playing games, dressing up, spending days outdoors, and jumping in muddy puddles. All episodes are wholesome entertainment for the entire family; Peppa's adventures always end happily with loud snorts of laughter. Peppa Pig episodes are available on DVD.

Rebecca Harvey, the head of marketing at Entertainment One Family, said, “We’ve had huge demand from fans in the U.K. and Australia for a Peppa Pig cinema event and we’re all incredibly excited to be bringing fans what we hope will be an unforgettable cinema experience. It’s also a great opportunity for licensees and retailers to capitalize on all the excitement that the cinema release is sure to generate.”
Airing regularly on Nick Jr. UK & Ireland and Nick Jr. Australia & New Zealand, Peppa Pig follows the adventures of Peppa, a loveable, exuberant little piggy who lives with her brother George, Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig. Peppa's favorite things include playing games, dressing up, spending days outdoors, and jumping in muddy puddles. All episodes are wholesome entertainment for the entire family; Peppa's adventures always end happily with loud snorts of laughter. Peppa Pig episodes are available on DVD.

Strengthening its position as an industry leader in multi-platform entertainment, Quebecor Content announced today that it has renewed through Corus Entertainment its major agreement with media giant Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN), one of the world's largest producers and distributors of youth content, with brands that are immensely popular among children and teenagers in over 160 countries around the globe!
With this new agreement, Quebecor Content will be furthering its children's and youth offerings on Yoopa and Club illico, thereby solidifying their respective ranking as the number one platforms in Quebec for youth and family television and subscription video-on-demand (SVOD).

The properties will join a number of other Nickelodeon megahits from the VIMN catalogue already available on the platform, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dora The Explorer, Go, Diego, Go!, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Penguins of Madagascar, Avatar: The Last Airbender, SpongeBob SquarePants, Victorious, and House of Anubis.
"We are delighted to partner with Corus for the VIMN content they distribute. This relationship bolsters our ability to bring the highest quality entertainment and brands to young people of all ages, across our platforms," said Yann Paquet, Vice President (VP) of Acquisitions & Partnerships at Quebecor Content.
