As Channel 4 draws up its shortlist for chief executive, there is a minor shakeup on the Big Cheese Chart.
Caroline Thomson, Kevin Lygo and Lorraine Heggessey are understood to be on the list – and Peter Fincham is not, although it is possible that he could be added at a later stage.
Other names put forward by headhunters Egon Zehnder include Jane Root and Martha Lane Fox, although it is not known whether they made the shortlist. Former BBC2 controller Root, in particular, might be a strong candidate as she has the public service credentials that Lord Burns is seeking in potential candidates.
