One of the leading contenders to take over from Michael Grade at Channel 4, Denise O’Donoghue, has pulled out of the race. O’Donoghue, who is head of Hat Trick productions, is said to have been put off by all the publicity the role attracts.
John Willis, Channel 4’s programming director, Michael Jackson, the head of BBC TV, and Howard Stringer, the former head of the CBS network in America are all said to be being considered for the post.
The Channel 4 Board is meeting to discuss Grade’s replacement on 28 April. A decision is expected soon after this.
