Yahoo! wouldn't be a good look for Freston, we think, then again it could be....

Published: Tuesday, December 05, 2006

So rumors are flowing like Diarrhea that former Viacom topper Tom "Tommy Boy" Freston may have been, or will be approached by the folks at Yahoo! about taking over for Terry Semel. We wouldn't be surprised being that Yahoo! seems to have a thing for traditional media guys and Semel seems to be on his last round. But for some reason we just don't see Tom Freston running a company like Yahoo! We mentioned before that we more see Tom heading a major record company, but there are no jobs on the CEO level open. But never the less it would be a great fit for Tom.

So let’s just say that Yahoo! does offer and Tom bites. Does this mean that Viacom's Redstone should worry? Maybe MTV queen Judy McGrath didn't leave because she had no where to go. Would this be the door for the major exits Redstone feared? Ahh not sure on this but Techcrunch seems to have their finger on info as it flows out of Yahoo! Maybe by week's end we will know for sure what's really going on at Yahoo!, or with Freston for that Matter.
