Industry Moves: Hart Promoted To MTV Digital SVP/GM; DeBenedittis, Helms Upped, Too

You’re reading it here first … MTVN is finally moving to fill a position left vacant since Ben White left for Sling Media; the official announcement is due later today. Dan Hart, who joined MTVN in 2004, has been promoted to SVP/GM of MTV Digital from VP-online games strategy and operations for MTVN. He’ll be responsible for “building upon the strong growth that MTV.com has experienced this year; delivering integrated experiences that link programming across all screens; furthering music programming on MTV.com, and leading new product development in the digital space.” In another sign of MTVN’s still-complex structure, Hart will report to both Christina Norman, president of MTV and Brian Graden, president of entertainment for MTVN Music Group — and will work “under the oversight” of Courtney Holt, EVP-digital music and media, MTVN Music Group on digital strategy and initiatives.

Paul DeBenedittis has been promoted to VP-operations and Colin Helms to VP-programming for MTV Digital.
