Des Lynam was just the start. To ITV's head of sport, the whole BBC is fair game
Article Abstract:
It is necessary to be tenacious to succeed in the world of sports broadcasting, according to ITV Head of Sport Brian Barwick. He made many valuable contacts while working for BBC sport, editing 'Match of the Day' and producing BBC 'Sports Personality of the Year,' and recognizes the importance of networking. He rejects criticism of him for enticing Des Lynam away from the BBC, and expresses strong views about how the BBC failed to broadcast significant sporting events.
