A game that two can play

Article Abstract:

Michael Jackson, controller of BBC2, has been responsible for a number of successful commissioning and scheduling moves, and this has brought him into direct conflict with John Willis, director of programmes at Channel 4. He has a programme budget of only 180 million pounds sterling, but has been able to increase BBC2's audience share to 11.2%, slightly ahead of Channel 4. Most recently, BBC2 has enjoyed ratings success with 'Our Friends in the North,' a 7 million pounds sterling drama.

Against the Wall

Article Abstract:

Malcolm Wall, managing director of Anglia TV, is reassuring staff that no further redundancies are likely. In June 1994, Wall had to announce the loss of about 170 jobs. He has made a two-year union agreement allowing more flexible working practices. The network production team now has just 70 members of staff, but can be supplemented by freelance workers.
