C4 Appoint New Head Of Factual
It has been announced that Channel 4 has appointed Ralph Lee as Head Of Factual, a newly created position, that will see the factual team and documentary team brought together into one department.
C4 Chief Creative Officer Jay Hunt said:"We have been working hard to make Channel 4 more accessible to suppliers and this new structure will streamline the factual commissioning team and speed up the time it takes to get back to producers.
"Previously there was considerable overlap between departments with suppliers often pitching the same ideas to a number of teams. The new structure creates a one stop shop for factual and ensures there is more coordination, as well as cross-fertilisation, between the different genre areas within it."
Lee joined the Channel 4 team in 2002; he left the broadcaster in 2007 and joined Channel 5 but returned to C4 in 2008.
