Ligtvoet succeeds Mühlemann at MTV Germany

MTV Networks International has quickly found a replacement for the departing Catherine Mühlemann: Dan Ligtvoet will take over the management of MTV Networks Germany as of June 1. The Dutchman is already in the management of the TV group and will retain his current post with the long title "Executive Vice President/Managing Director MTV Networks North". In this function, he has been responsible for Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands since the beginning of 2007, as MTV announced on Thursday. Before joining MTV Networks in 2002, Ligtvoet worked as Managing Director of Initiative Media Netherlands.
Mühlemann, who was born in Bern, surprisingly announced on Monday that she was leaving the station (see
