Industry Vet Scott McGowan Departs From AEBN

ATLANTA — Adult industry professional Scott McGowan has announced his departure from adult video-on-demand giant Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network (AEBN) after six years of service.

McGowan has been best known to adult industry consumers and professionals as the editor and primary writer of EyeOnAdult.com, an adult news and commentary outlet operated by AEBN¹s internet traffic division, Toss Off Media.

The bulk of his experience with AEBN, however, was concentrated in video encoding and content management. McGowan also served as the company's video encoding department manager for approximately one year between 2002 and 2003.

"Working with AEBN is certainly one of the greatest experiences and educations anyone can gain in the adult industry," McGowan said. "Their reach and vision is second to none and to have been there for the largest part of the company¹s history has and always will be a great source of pride for me."

On his departure from AEBN, McGowan said, "It just came time for a change in my personal and professional life. It was a difficult choice to make but I know that in the end I've done what's best for me and my family."

Now based in Atlanta, Ga., McGowan is exploring both mainstream and adult industry opportunities.

"I've got a few irons in the fire," McGowan said. "I'm just trying to figure out which one's going to get hot first."

Along with his experience with AEBN, McGowan also has worked as a publicity consultant for companies such as Your Choice B.V. of The Netherlands and VCX, one of the U.S.' best-known adult companies since the early 1960s. He's also performed services as freelance writer for such periodical publications as Genesis and XBIZ as well as Erotic Trade Only of the U.K. where he has been featured as a monthly columnist.

Looking ahead to further work on the European adult scene, McGowan will next be making his way the Venus Berlin show where he'll be lending a helping hand to exhibitors Redzone Pictures of the U.K. and Your Choice B.V.
