Congratulations to Channel 4's controller of channel management, George Dixon, who has just landed one of the best jobs across the Irish Sea as controller of RTE 1. But the appointment is probably less good news for C4 where Dixon has worked since 2011, overseeing scheduling, commissioning strategy and acquisitions across its four broadcast channels. Dixon was one of the choice poaches of director of programmes, Jay Hunt, who had worked with him closely at the BBC, where she was BBC1 controller. "She's really going to miss him," a C4 source tells Monkey.
