Senior management shuffle continues at Nickelodeon
Another influential programmer at Nickelodeon -- Margie Cohn -- is leaving the children’s network as the operation struggles to remain relevant with pint-sized viewers who are watching content on different platforms.
Nickelodeon said Monday that Cohn, president of content development, as well as Alison Dexter, the Los Angeles-based executive vice president of production, were exiting the network immediately.
The shuffles come at a sensitive time for Nickelodeon, which recently made its sales pitch to advertisers looking to buy commercial time for the upcoming season. The children’s market has become increasingly complex.
