By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 3 June 2014
BBC Three has promoted Sam Bickley to the role of Acting Channel Editor, replacing Zai Bennett when she leaves the BBC later this month. Bickley will oversee the programming of the channel as it prepares to go online-only next year.
Bickley is currently Head Of Commissioning For Documentaries And Features for BBC Three. She will continue in her other role of joint Head of BBC One Documentaries.
Announcing the news, Bickley said: “I have worked on BBC Three for many years, watching this innovative channel grow. Zai and the team have built a vibrant, exciting and diverse BBC Three with amazing reach and I feel privileged to be asked to follow in his footsteps. I will continue to navigate Three through the year ahead with some amazing new shows to come”.
