Droppin’ the Bomb on Viacom: Breakup plans revealed

» More Media

We haven’t said much (read: anything) about Viacom‘s plan to break up because we’re pretty sure, somehow, Sumner Redstone owns us. And really, who likes being fired? Hey, Daniel Okrent doesn’t count!

But “straight from” Gideon Yago‘s stolen laptop comes the secret breakup plans, available only on FishbowlNY.

It looks like Tom Freston is going to get all the fun properties, while Les gets boring divisions like outdoor advertising. Though that may bring us one step closer to working alongside Moonves, as we peed on a Viacom billboard pole once (or six times).
