There'll be no Director of Radio & Music at the BBC to replace James Purnell. Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore says in future she'll be working directly with the Radio Controllers - Lorna Clarke (supervising Radio 1, 1Xtra, 2, 6Music and The Asian Network) Alan Davey (Radio 3) Mohit Bakaya (Radio 4 and 4 Extra), Heidi Dawson (Radio 5Live and 5Live Sports Extra) Jonathan Wall (BBC Sounds) and Graham Ellis (Audio).
It turns out there has been an interim Director of Radio Music, in the form of Rhona Burns - she continues to look after "business and group operations" (whatever that means) combined with new duties as COO for Managing Director Bob Shennan. She will also lead on post-Covid future ways of working across the BBC (Wasn't that supposed to be Rhodri Talfan-Davies ? Ed).
Rhona's move means that Content will have one Chief Operating Officer in the form of David Pembrey, and one Finance Director, Sarb Nijjer.
