Merrill Brown leaves RealNetworks

Merrill Brown, the former MSNBC.com editor-in-chief who joined RealNetworks last year to head the RealOne online audio and video subscription service, is leaving, CBS MarketWatch reports.

UPDATE (7/31): Brown tells The Seattle Times, "It just seemed to me that the creative opportunities I was looking for here and the scale of what I wanted to do careerwise wasn't exactly in sync with the direction the company wanted to go in. I wanted to find the right creative and editorial opportunity, and it didn't look like it was going to be here.

"The entire experience that consumers will have as they engage in news content, in entertainment content, and everything they do from the home is about to change with broadband ubiquity," he said. "That creates a lot of content opportunities for people like me."
