AMSTERDAM -- Scandinavian media company Modern Times Group has reshuffled the responsibilities of some of its top management on both the broadcast and print sides.

Among the changes on the broadcast side, H.C. Ejemyr will remain executive vice president of MTG but leave his position of coordinator for ViaSat Broadcasting Sweden and add managing director of Tidnings AB Metro, a newspaper distributed on subways.

At the same time, Michael Porseryd, CEO of MTG channel ZTV, will expand his duties to include Ejemyr's former position in coordinating the Swedish side of ViaSat, the pay TV arm of the MTG.

Porsryd and Peter Nylander, managing director of TV3 Sweden, will also become part of the executive board of ViaSat Broadcasting.
