Channel 4 announces new CEO appointment

25 January 2010 10:20

David Abraham has been chosen as the new chief executive of Channel 4 following the departure of Andy Duncan.

Mr Duncan stepped down from the top media job in November last year and the hunt for a replacement has been going on since then.

It is not clear when Mr Abraham will step into his new post, although he has said he is looking forward to leading the organisation through its next growth period.

"This is an extremely exciting, if challenging, time to be working in the media," he stated.

"Innovation has been part of Channel 4's history and it will be at the heart of its future."

Currently the chief executive of UKTV, Mr Abraham worked on the rebrand of the G2 channel to Dave in 2007.

Prior to this he was president and general manager of the TLC channel for Discovery Networks USA.

In November, Channel 4 announced that Lord Burns would be its new chairman, succeeding the outgoing Luke Johnson, who will leave this week.
