Title: .."and the new DG will be...? Post by Administrator on Jan 27th, 2012, 4:40pm There is already intense media speculation regarding the next DG. The Telegraph has published an opinion here. The Guardian proposes some likely names:- Peter Fincham. Presently at ITV. Mark Scott. Presently at ABC. George Entwistle. Presently Director BBC Vision. Caroline Thomson. Presently BBC CEO. David Abraham. Presently Channel 4 Chief Executive. Tim Davie. Presently BBC Director Audio and Music. Sophie Turner-Laing. Presently MD at SKY. Helen Bowden. Presently BBC Director of News. Esteemed members of this forum, what are your thoughts? Any other likely contenders? Yourself, maybe? |

Title: Re: .."and the new DG will be...? Post by FoxyFace on Jan 30th, 2012, 11:36am It most likely to be an internal appointment-so as to keep the salary "manageable". I would also think it will be someone who doesn't mind doing what they are told. |

Title: Re: .."and the new DG will be...? Post by david en france on Jan 30th, 2012, 8:36pm I wonder what Ms Bowden thinks of a 6 o clock news item which begins "It's an old chestnut but......" which many millions of viewers must have heard tonight. BBC main news giving out "old chestnuts"? Surely not! |
