The NYT report is that AOL wanted to sell Studios but was thwarted by an SEC ruling. nytimes.com Re-org is as much a power grab by Pittman as it is a means to cut costs. (He also last week installed his own guy -- a long-time associate at MTV, Century 21, and Time Warner -- as Prez of CSi). Case's original idea for Studios was to have an independent arm develop content for the Web, competing as it were, vs. the main AOL service. In fact Studios has separate ad sales force. Pittman obviously didn't like that notion. And, of course because AOL has been moving ever more heavily to web-centric focus, the idea makes less sense today than it once might have.
