Only two days into George's designacy (no such word, but there ought to be), and the signs are very mixed.
Noel Edmonds has been invited to pilot a BBC1 Saturday evening show with turkey written all over it, reports the Sun.
Danny Cohen has announced that Match of the Day 2 is moving from BBC2 to BBC1 from the start of the new football season. Here's an DQF opportunity: why not just call it Match of the Day, use the same titles and set, and maybe the same already-highly-paid presenter ? Some football journalists watch more than one match a week; just tell Gary he's overnighting in the Etap.
And, according to the Independent, George has told Miriam O'Reilly "Get back on air". I'm afraid this is very likely a wrong inference from a perfectly polite email; both the Independent and Miriam should read it through again.
"I was quite surprised that George got in touch. He sent me an email in which he thanked me for my recent work on Crimewatch Roadshow and said that he would very much like to discuss working with me again once the break I decided to take was over."
Mr Entwistle asked her to contact him directly with any presenting ideas and asked Emma Swain, the BBC executive tipped to take over his BBC Vision role, to examine one proposal for a new series which Ms O'Reilly would co-produce and present.
