Article Abstract:
The restructuring of the BBC will probably mean that its independent commission executives are retained and based within the new Broadcast directorate, according to Mark Thompson, controller designate of BBC2. However, it is unlikely that the Broadcast directorate will employ large numbers of high powered commissioning executives. At present, independent commissioning executives operate in the factual, drama and entertainment departments.
