He will run the Asian digital station in addition to overseeing Radio 1, 1Xtra and teen project BBC Switch. BBC Audio & Music chief Jenny Abramsky says: "From audience perspective it makes sense that the Asian Network which provides so much for young British Asians sits with our other youth stations, Radio 1 and 1Xtra. Andy Parfitt has done an excellent job in looking after the Asian Network these past few months and I am sure that it will flourish under his controllership".
