Following the previously reported departure of senior digital guy Jason Hirschhorn, MTV in the US this weekend announced that Interscope digital guy Courtney Holt will be joining them as Executive Vice President Of Digital Music And Media. Although Holt will oversee MTV's recently launched download venture Urge, which Hirschhorn spearheaded, the network stress that the new recruit is not a direct replacement and that his role at the company will essentially be a new one. In addition to Urge, Holt will oversee a number of digital initiatives across MTV's channels, including broadband destination Overdrive, VH1's VSpot, mtvU's Uber and CMT's soon-to-be-launched Loaded venture.
