Congratulations to Jim Gray, arriving back at the BBC to fulfil the Tony Hall commitment to putting "Current Affairs" back on the masthead for News. He'll be called Head of TV Current Affairs, and Deputy Head of the News Programmes Department.
Jim joins from ITN where, until last year, he was Editor of Channel 4 News for 14 years; not sure if there was a Jay Hunt factor in that parting. Before that, he spent 17 years at the BBC, first at Radio 4 (mainly The World Tonight) and later at Newsnight, where he progressed from Political Producer to Deputy Editor (to Peter Horrocks).
Will there be any travel from Auntie in the other direction, where there is a Deborah Turness-size hole as Editor ITV News ?
