Turnover

The Guardian's Jim Waterston was the first to report that Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden has refused to extend two non-execs at Channel 4, despite that being the wish of both Channel 4 and Ofcom. 

One board member being replaced is Fru Hazlitt, 58 (Downes House and BA English & Drama, University of London). She's been living in Rome since 2015 with her husband, former hedge-fund boss Charlie Porter, and three children, after stepping down from ITV in 2015 for health reasons.  In 2019, she set up a social media company, La Piazza Group, from premises not far from the Campo De Fiori. Her Twitter feed has been pretty critical of the UK response to Covid.

Uzma Hasan, 41, (BA English Literature Cardiff and Kennedy Scholar, Harvard) is the second non-exec who's not getting a second term. She's on the board of a number of film production companies.
