Big Cheese Chart - October 15

More change on the Big Cheese chart, with another two potential chairman – one tipped for ITV, one for Channel 4 – relegated from the list.

Both former Unilever chief executive Niall Fitzgerald, in the running for the ITV chairmanship, and former Endemol boss Peter Bazalgette, tipped for Channel 4, have ruled themselves out.

But fear not – the cheese chart is no less busy with the addition of three new faces, all of them tipped for the soon to be vacant chief executive's job at Channel 4. They are ITV's director of group development and strategy Carolyn Fairbairn, BBC chief operating officer Caroline Thomson and Warner Bros UK head, Josh Berger.

ITV director of television, channels and online Peter Fincham remains the hot favourite, according to our chart, with Lord Carter the least fancied of all the runners and riders.
