Ofcom need to announce a new deputy chair pretty soon. Maggie Carver, appointed to the role in 2018, has been told her term won't be renewed when it's up at the end of this month. Brave members of the Ofcom Content Board, chaired by Ms Carver, were minuted expressing regret at the Board's October meeting.
Perhaps even Ms Carver had previously thought there was a chance of an extension; she noted extensive homework:
Since the last meeting Maggie Carver had met (separately) with a number of senior figures in UK news and broadcasting to discuss issues of mutual interest: Rachel Corp, Chief Executive of ITN; Deborah Turness, CEO of BBC News; Mark Byford, a former Deputy Director General of the BBC and head of BBC journalism; and Greg Dyke, media executive and a former Director-General of the BBC.
