Personnel changes after a quarter or a year where a company didn’t do so hot is pretty common. Up until the CBS deal they were doing pretty bad, and by pretty bad I mean really bad.
I deal with this stuff day-in and day-out, and around the same time as SEC filings and earnings releases are ’so and so resigns’ and ’so and so joins the board’ announcements.
$kala and Lappin consolidating power?
I’m going to assume the C.E.O. is this Charles F. Champion:

It’s the site the other sites don’t want you to know about…Find out why…
Pramit
Whoring your site out in comments is a guaranteed way to make me not check out your site.
MMAPayout has confirmed what we all knew to be true: that MMA fans, most of whom are male, spend a lot of time looking at other dude’s asses.
Thanks for that info Jeremy (not that Jeremy) I’ll keep that in mind next time I whore out my site in the comments section. I’ll remember to not look for your ip address on my site.

Pramit don’t worry about the haters on this comment board. Not every MMA fan-boy out there understands the value of linking and website optimization (Geek Speak).
Tone it down.
Hopefully CBS hires some decent commentators.
