Viacom CEO ‘Fighting for His Life’ as Stock Sinks

Hollywood Reporter: Philippe Dauman has been characterized as a man “fighting for his professional life.” The Viacom CEO may control the board, but he will not control the trust that takes control when chief Sumner Redstone is out of the picture. Shari Redstone is said to have an agreement to install Les Moonves as chairman of CBS, assuming she eventually takes control, but has no such understanding with Dauman.
