It’s been just one year since Sean Atkins took the position as president of MTV, but he has decided to step down from his current duties. Atkins had replaced Stephen Friedman, who had been on the job for a longer stint, since 2011. Until January, he will be serving as a consultant as they transition to their next president.
The news was broken Monday when Atkins wrote a letter to his staff announcing his decision to step down. Before he was at MTV, Atkins worked for Discovery Communications, holding the position of GM.
Atkins had only been a part of MTV since September of 2015 and has already decided to move on. We’ll have to see how this impacts MTV and where Atkins goes from here in the coming weeks and months.
