why would anyone hire moloshok? he failed at yahoo and then went on to fail at hbo, all the while being dramatically overpaid.

can’t speak to the comment about moloshok, but john penney is a rock star in the space

I worked with Moloshok at Yahoo and lee must never have worked with him.

How can any media company be cutting back on digital?  I worked with Moloshok at Yahoo where he basically jump-started their broadband efforts .. wonder where Lee comes off? Jealous of Moloshok’s stock options and that he does not have to work?

At the end of the day, this division wouldn’t have been closed if they would have executed a new media strategy. 

as for penney...he failed to drive results @ ATT and followed w/ lackluster results at HBO.  Birds of a feather....

Mark’s never worked with Penney.  I did when we were at AT&T;.  (Company doesn’t like outsiders and he was embraced.) In fact, he designed an advertising business strategy for IPTV that the company has touted as a major opportunity for them in the Wall Street Journal.

I have known John and Jim .... John at ATT and Jim at Yahoo.  They are good people working in a tough company… I wish the rest of the team there was as easy to work and negotiate with and understood digital media as they do.
