Jonathan Munro's as focussed as Nadine Dorries when it comes to changing the old ways. The interim Director of BBC News has cleft in at least two parts the job of Jamie Angus, now about to exit stage left as Senior Controller, Senior Controller, News Output and Commissioning.
His replacement will no longer have oversight of the BBC News Channel and BBC World; the channels will in future report to Digital Director Naja Nielsen, as will the team responsible for BBC Weather.
Mr Angus' role is to be re-named Senior Controller of Programmes and Commissioning. One presumes the holder manages the bulletins on BBC1; Newsnight on BBC2; the Radio Newsroom and World Service News Programmes (in English); Today, WATO, PM etc; and news on Radio 5 Live.
Mr Munro intends to fill this role on an interim basis, promising a "full recruitment process once our new CEO, Deborah Turness, is in post."
You've got til 20th April to make your case "in no more than 750 words" - that's 200 shy of a standard Munro monthly newsletter.
