TV changes

A very gentle restructuring exercise by BBC Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore leaves us with few very big casualties. Patrick Holland, whose job running BBC2 and BBC4 closes, moves elegantly into the new role of Director of Factual. Kate Phillips, who's been interim Controller BBC1, secures the role of running Entertainment, from which she came. Shane Allen keeps Comedy, Piers Wenger keeps Drama, and Rose Garnett continues to mind Film. 

Dan McGolpin will move into the newly created portfolio role as Director of BBC iPlayer & Channels. BBC Three remains unchanged, with Fiona Campbell as Controller, but reporting to McGolpin.  

Cassian Harrison, formerly 'editor' of BBC Four, has nowhere to go back to, from his 9-month attachment to BBC Studios. There are three new jobs he might apply for - Head of Portfolio Scheduling, Channel Editor of Daytime and Early-Peak, and Head of Programme Acquisition. 

There's no indication of how this might fit, if at all, with the future management of network radio.
