Channel 5 has decided to appoint a controller of sport due to its growing ambition to acquire rights to more sporting events.
Robert Charles, formerly controller of sport at Yorkshire Television, takes on the newly created role. Sporting output was previously handled by Nick Wilson, who was also in charge of children’s programming. He will now concentrate solely on children’s television.
A spokeswoman at 5 told Newsline that the acquisitions of a number of sporting events were “in the pipeline.”
