National Television Awards

David Walliams new host

Jonathan Ross is a good call actually, or Davina McCall. Paddy McGuiness may be too if they want to go the comedian route - though he's more a BBC face nowadays.

Music Channel Archive YouTube channel is now made for kids

CBBC - Michael Underwood, Adrian Dickson and Liam Dolan

Liam was recruited as part of BBC Talent, and it was a year’s contract he won, which presumably wasn’t renewed. Liam and Michael departed the week before the relaunch, which meant one of the last...

Tony Hall standing down

I'd say she's on much more than £900k once bonus pay is included. But that's only half the picture. If she assumed the role of DG there would be pressure to give up any business interests (shares...

Where only one big ITV region opts out

It’s possible YTV would have played it out for them, but it may not have been convenient for them to do so at the time TSW and STV chose to show it. It’s more likely one of the stations was pre-fed...
