摘要

Executives at the MTV networks stood and roared their approval at a budget meeting last November when Sumner Redstone, chairman and CEO of parent company Viacom, pledged $30 million of corporate cash to launch Logo, a gay channel that the MTV brass had regarded as a top priority. Under Viacom president and heir apparent Mel Karmazin, the channel had been delayed. But at this meeting, attended by Karmazin, Redstone openly said to MTV chief Tom Freston, "You want to do it? You have the money." Karmazin was silent. "It was a dramatic moment," Freston recalls. "All of a sudden, we got something we hadn't expected." The new channel is set to debut early next year. This wasn't the only time Redstone took the lead in orchestrating a shift toward bigger risks on the content side of Viacom's media empire. At a meeting this year with executives at Viacom's Paramount Pictures, with Karmazin present, Redstone stunned his team with a commitment to bankroll more of the big-budget films that studio heads love but that Karmazin loved to avoid. The divide over how far to wade into expensive movies and risky programming was not gaping. Karmazin says he was eager, for example, to launch the gay network. But things weren't moving fast enough for Redstone. Ultimately, Karmazin realized he would never really run the company, and he last week announced his resignation.
