Guess Judy didn't have Bakker's back

Published: Friday, March 02, 2007

The head rolling continues at Viacom's MTV Networks. This time the bomb dropped overseas at MTV UK which will see 250 jobs terminated. MTV UK head Michiel Bakker is getting a head start by jumping ship early. But not after saying something nice about the company.

"The company has a great and challenging future ahead of it but I have decided it is time to turn the music off and see where life takes me," Bakker said in a statement.

The 20-year veteran held the title of executive vice president and managing director and most recently oversaw the launch of MTV's broadband Internet business in the U.K. and a social networking and TV channel operation called MTV Flux in Britain. He is leaving to pursue other interests.

Yeah sure you are Bakker.
