Michael Grade resigns as BBC Chairman

Breaking news, more soon.

And then he'll quit ITV to do Channel 4, and then he'll go back to the BBC again, and then he'll quit that and move back to ITV...

Ah but there's family history for him at ITV and expect he's ready for a new challenge...

Hmm, we'll soon see if he can turn it all around.

Somehow I'm not convinced. Brave guy though.

Mark quicker than Huw Edwards and on the ball as usual.

Didn't see that one coming at all.....

Nice move by ITV plc

Says it all about ITV really - pretty uninspired!

They've gone for a safe pair of hands rather than the risk taker they really require!

No quicker than Huw's headlines I'm afraid.

There are few people with more experience and no one with the passion for the company that Michael Grade will bring.

I didn't hear the headlines - it was obviously embargoed as everyone seems to be reporting it simultaneously now.

Will it mean Bruce Forsyth's Strictly Come Dancing Big Night Mk 2?

Yeh, typical of Grade to not stick around....he's allergic to Doctor Who after all. Always thought of him as a smarmy smug media luvvie loser.
