Joost owners Adconion promote Hunt to MD and drop anime from roster

The two moves are unlikely to be related but Adconion Media the network darling that bought struggling video on demand site Joost have been busy with changes.

The former Head of Video from Adconion’s Australian operations Matthew Hunt has been promoted to Managing Director. He’ll replace Mike James who left last year.

The video connection is strong here. Adconion bought Joost because of its potential power as video platform. Hunt is their ex-Head of Video.

I was on Joost to watch anime videos. I can’t do that any more. The last of their Toei tiles will vanish on March 25.

Here’s the list:

• Air Master
• Pretty Cure
• Digimon Adventure
• Galaxy Express 999
• First of the North Star
• Slam Dunk
• Captain Harlock

However, if you’re in the US then you can pick these up via Hulu. Funimation and Crunchyroll also run these.
