BoomTown Plea to Jeff Bewkes: Free Jon Miller!
Yesterday, in what feels to BoomTown to be a deeply petty move, Time Warner said that it had blocked former AOL head Jon Miller from being considered as a possible Yahoo board member.
The reason is a noncompete Miller signed, part of a severance agreement he reached with the media giant after it unceremoniously tossed him out in late 2006.
A Time Warner spokesman said Miller was barred from working “for a variety of competitors, including Yahoo, until March of 2009.”
Like it matters.
