Jake Kanter of Deadline says BBC DG Tim Davie is having difficulties filling his own previous role as CEO of BBC Studios.
The hunt, lead by BBC favourites Egon Zehnder, has failed to attract a suitable candidate after more than six months. Jake says problems may include the salary - it would be odd if it was much larger than Tim's deal - and the fact that, in restructuring, Tim has bumped the job off the top level board. If you're taking the job as a career-boosting salary sacrifice, you want to be able to say you were right at the top of organisation.
There are other possible candidates who, of course, may have been thwarted in their BBC ambitions by the appointment of Tim as DG.
