Whilst the world laughs at Jeremy Hunt's vainglorious charge at the windmill of local tv, Sky are tilting a lance at the equally evasive target of "regional news, sport and more delivered via the web and mobile". A pilot will soon be underway centred on Newcastle.
For those puzzled as to why the Knights of Osterley have lighted upon the north-east, I give you the CV of CEO Jeremy Darroch. Born in Alnwick, Head Boy of the (former) Duke's Grammar School; University of Hull; Deloitte; Procter and Gamble (starting in Newcastle); Dixons and BSkyB. Grandfather was a miner, father a tax manager. Jeremy still supports Newcastle United, and is a regular at St James' Park.
