Big cheesed off

Media Monkey is feeling insulted. Under the headline "A big cheese full of holes" the London Evening Standard's City diary claims our Big Cheese Chart failed to predict Terry Burns, Archie Norman or David Abraham for the big telly jobs. Oh dear. Leaves us wondering about the accuracy of the freesheet's City diary. MediaGuardian exclusively revealed Terry Burns' appointment as chairman of Channel 4 (and hence he was in the Big Cheese Chart before anyone else wrote the story); we have been tipping Abraham as a frontrunner for the Channel 4 chief executiveship since October, and his face peeked out of the Cheese Chart long before his appointment; and, er, we didn't spot Archie Norman's appointment. Still, as Meat Loaf sang, two out of three ain't bad. All tips for ITV's chief executiveship gratefully accepted. Or maybe the Standard's City pages will tell us who is going to get that one.
