Both executives report to Nina Diaz, president of entertainment at Viacom’s Music Group.
“Mala and Todd are at the top of their game, with long track records of proven success,” said Diaz. “As we develop more original hours on linear than ever before, and build on that momentum to deliver content across every platform, we’re fortunate to have these two enterprising leaders joining our team of all-stars.”
In her new post Chapple will help grow MTV Studios, working with Diaz and Group President Chris McCarthy to form partnerships with streaming, direct-to-consumer and SVOD platforms.
