BBC to close Director of Radio and Music role
James Purnell, former Director of Radio and Music, will not be replaced at the BBC cutting out a layer of management from the organisation.
In an email to staff this morning seen by RadioToday, Chief Content Officer for Content, Charlotte Moore, says the post will be closed and she is instead looking forward to working directly with the Controllers of each network/service.
The roles of the Radio Controllers remain unchanged and they will continue to work with their teams as currently, with BBC Radio & Music remaining a part of the wider BBC Content division as it is now, alongside the other parts.
