The departure of Richard Klein from BBC4 for the factual department of ITV offers Danny Cohen the chance to improve the gender balance of the Vision top team. Janice Hadlow is currently minding 4 as well as her own BBC2; Charlotte Moore is minding One with a spring in her stride, and now has two slots for which to pitch.
It may take longer for Lord Hall to improve things at the BBC Management Board (which meets three times a month, not weekly, as I previously asserted). Currently, three women are members out of a total of 16 - of them, only Helen Boaden is from an output department. And ethnic diversity will almost disappear when Zarin Patel departs... I'm guessing Ralph Rivera has Puerto Rican heritage.
