BBC2 controller steps down

BBC2 controller Janice Hadlow has to step down the role after more than five years to take up a new job as controller. She is also the controller of BBC4 said it had been an "amazing privilege" to run BBC2 which she said she had "loved ever since I was old enough to appreciate great programmes." She is leaving on the channels 50th birthday, on 20 April this year. She become in charge for the BBC4 last year. In her new job she will "develop and originate high-impact, cross-platform series, seasons and other major television events." She will also "advise Danny Cohen and the channel controllers on broadcast strategy."The BBC's director of television, Danny Cohen, said Hadlow had been an "extraordinarily successful controller of BBC2. In a time of digital change, she has both creatively enriched BBC2 and ensured it remains a competitive force to be reckoned with".

My view: I personally think this could seriously affect the BBC as they are loosing a controller, who was in charge of two things in the company. This could seriosuly affect the company in many different ways as she was an star for them. The channel might not be controlled the same way as she use to control it. This could result to having unorgainsed staff and unorgained channel. This will then affect the BBC as one of there channels is nopt performing well and is loosing viewers, which means the company will be loosing its audience.
