HTV MAKES NEW FACTUAL APPOINTMENTS

HTV Wales has appointed two experienced programme makers to its factual department.
The new Head of Factual Programmes is Bruce Kennedy and Paul Caverley is to head up the Factual Department.
Bruce will be responsible for HTV’s factual programmes including the award winning ‘Wales This Week’ and ‘The Ferret’.
Elis Owen, Controller, HTV Wales said: “I’m extremely pleased that Bruce Kennedy is Head of Factual Programmes. He is a well respected broadcaster who has a broad range of experience. I’m sure he is the ideal person to guide our already successful factual programmes in the future.”
Kennedy, who is an experienced journalist, programme maker, and a former BT Welsh Journalist of the Year said: “Viewers have come to expect and enjoy hard-hitting factual programmes from HTV which properly reflect life in Wales. Building on that tradition will be an exciting challenge which I’m looking forward to.”
The new Head of Factual Department, Paul Calverley, is an experienced programme maker who started as a journalist on newspapers in Yorkshire before moving to television. He has worked for several ITV companies including Tyne Tees, Central and Carlton and BBC radio. For seven years he was a producer and researcher on the highly successful series ‘The Cook Report’. Paul joined HTV’s factual department last year as a development producer.
Calverley said he was looking forward to the exciting challenge.
The Factual Development Department began 18 months ago under the control of HTV and United Productions.
In that period, under departing head, Clare Hudson, the department sold programmes to both Channel 4 and Channel 5.
