Point of order

A difficult couple of weeks for Controller of 5Live, Adrian Van Klaveren.  On 15th September he faced a 40 minute on air grilling from one of his own presenters, Victoria Derbyshire, who probed around the commitments made by Adrian to moving to Salford with the station in 2011, when he was interviewed for the Controller position in February 2008.  Here's a key passage, helpfully transcribed by The Guardian.

VD: So were you completely honest in your interview?
AVK: I was completely honest at the time of the interview, yes.
VD: Did you give the impression that you were fully moving?
AVK: I gave the complete honesty of what my commitment was to moving the station.
VD: So you made it absolutely clear I won't actually physically be moving, I will be renting during the week?
AVK: Actually, I was saying in two years' time I am in a difficult position with children and there are clearly issues there in terms of how those timings work.
VD: That doesn't make sense though. They wouldn't give the job to somebody who wasn't properly moving to Manchester.

This week, Adrian penned an article for the BBC house magazine Ariel, which pointed a little more to circumstances changing after that fateful interview.  It could be that some of those on the asking side of that Controller board back in 2008 don't want it thought that they didn't ask some basics - and get the answers they wanted.
