The BBC exec who has overseen the creation of the new domestic-global news channel is to take up a role as Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore’s right-hand woman.
Jess Brammar, whose hire generated headlines two years ago when a BBC board member was accused of trying to block it, will become Editorial Executive in Moore’s content division. Once she returns from parental leave next week, Brammar will replace Rachel Jupp, who is “taking time out to move to Washington DC with her family,” according to a memo from Director of Digital, Channels and Weather Naja Nielen’s sent out this morning.
Brammar moves from her BBC News Channel Editor post and her interim replacement Paul Royall will remain while a permanent replacement is sought.
Brammar’s new job involves supporting Moore with editorial and creative support across all TV genres, radio, sport, children’s and education, but not news.
