A source somewhat closer to Elisabeth Murdoch than 'i' media watcher Adam Sherwin says she's not a contender for the BBC Director General vacancy. Mr Sherwin's Twitterfeed plaintively re-tweets a remark hinting that 'she would say that, wouldn't she', pointing to Shiv Roy, part of the warring fictional media dynasty in the HBO drama series Succession.
Meanwhile charismatic BBC chairman Sir David Clementi takes to a podium somewhere inside the BBC bit of MediaCityUK tonight, warning that ‘a diminished BBC is a weakened United Kingdom'. He indicates, excitingly, that decisions about future funding of the Corporation shouldn't be taken 'in isolation'. One presumes he's trying to solicit applications from potential DGs to stand by his side at the barricades.
