The BBC today confirms the appointment of Damian Kavanagh as Controller, BBC Daytime.
Reporting
into BBC One Controller Danny Cohen, Kavanagh will have responsibility
for all daytime commissioning across BBC One and BBC Two, alongside The
One Show and 6-7pm on BBC Two.
Damian Kavanagh said: “It was a
very difficult decision to leave Channel 4 but BBC Daytime has a unique
range of top quality content, from The One Show to programmes like
Father Brown, Pointless and Great Railway Journeys. I really can’t wait
to get started.”
BBC One Controller, Danny Cohen, added: "Damian
has a fantastic blend of editorial and scheduling experience and he’s a
team-player. I’m very certain that he will build on the great success of
Liam Keelan and the talented Daytime team."
Kavanagh replaces former BBC Daytime Controller Liam Keelan, now Global Editorial Director at BBC Worldwide.
Currently Head of Features and Factual Formats at Channel Four, Kavanagh will take up his new role later this year.
