BBC radio chief gets pop music role

Radio 2 and 6Music Controller Lesley Douglas has been named Controller of BBC Popular Music, adding to her existing remit.

Radio 2 and 6Music Controller Lesley Douglas has had her remit expanded again, presumably because she was looking for an excuse to get some new business cards done. She will now also be Controller of BBC Popular Music. I have no idea what that means, presumably some kind of role in the running of Radio 1 and 1Xtra, alongside former Radio 1 chief Andy Parfitt who, as previously reported, now has a more wide ranging 'yoof' role within the Beeb.
