Listed Malaysian free-TV platform, Media Prima, moves into Q2 high on the industry watch list following speculation about the exits of deputy group MD/CEO of Media Prima OMNiA, Michael Chan, and TV Networks/Primeworks Studios’ CEO, Khairul Anwar Salleh.
Media Prima has not confirmed the exits and has not announced replacements. Neither has been deleted from Media Prima’s website.
Industry sources say Salleh, who joined Media Prima in August 2020, has exited his role and is now on gardening leave.
News of Salleh’s exit comes about a month after reports that Michael Chan had resigned.
Before joining Media Prima in January 2020, Chan ran Malaysia’s MyTV Broadcasting. He also worked for Bloomberg TV Malaysia, Astro, ntv7, Bernama TV and Maxis.
