Wall pass

Congratulations to Jonathan Wall on his elevation to Controller, Radio 5 Live - in his words, the "best job in radio".

Peter Salmon, King of the North, congratulated him on his "enormous commitment". Does that refer to moving his family from London to Knutsford City Limits, as Deputy Controller, to be handy for Salford Quays? Peter himself has committed to finding a "family house" in the North by March this year - the Daily Mail seems to be on his case. In a previous role, at Granada, he did seem to have a Manchester address for a year.

One guesses the Salmon family could afford to retain their home in Twickenham as well. Or one might hope that Peter competes successfully for the role of Director of Television, on Tone's team - the advert will be out shortly.

Tone might have noted another "commitment" this week from his tv team. Zai Bennett, Controller BBC3, earmarked under Thommo for the next phase of MediaCityUK:‘Will I personally move to Salford? No way. I’ve got my family and personal life here in London.’
