Bob off

Former BBC Director of Radio & Music, Group Managing Director and Bringer-of-June-Sarpong, Bob Shennan is leaving the BBC after 36 years. Recently dubbed 'Covid' Bob for his magisterial Zooms during the pandemic, he was sent to BBC Studios as their first 'Director of Audio' in March last year, charged with  'growing the audio business with colleagues across the organisation'.  There's no obvious product yet... 

DG Tim is sad to see him go "I will miss his wise counsel, extensive knowledge and calm, collaborative approach." 

Bob will be 61 this March; we don't know his current salary, as he's paywalled at BBC Studios. As Group Managing Director he was on £310k.
