Street named

Congratulations to Jo Street, named acting Controller of BBC Daytime, after the elevation of Damian Kavanagh to Digital Controller BBC3.

She's got some twenty years of tv experience under her belt, most of it with daytime shows. She started with Countryfile and Animal Sanctuary, and then the Weakest Link, as assistant producer, producer and finally series producer. In 2008, she joined the daytime commissioning team, taking the high road to Glasgow under the dispersal tactics of the day - less traumatic, perhaps, for someone from Doncaster. Her current slate of commissions includes Homes under the Hammer, Antiques Road Trip, Eggheads, Countryside 999, Building Dream Homes and Holiday of My Lifetime. She has the company of her dog, Columbo.
