Jana Bennet - Director of BBC Worldwide - announced late last year that commissioning at the Beeb was to undergo a restructuring of sorts. The idea is to split roles into more genre-based divisions, allowing for specialists to get their knowledge across. These are the confirmations we know so far, and I will add more as they are revealed.

• Alan Tyler - Executive Editor, Entertainment Commissioning (from Head of Comedy at BBC Scotland)
• Jo Street - Daytime Commissioning Executive
• Martin Davidson - Commissioning Editor for History and Business
• Jo Ball - Commissioning Editor for Features on BBC One and Two
• Emma Swain - Head of Knowledge Commissioning

There’s a lot of fancy titles there, aren’t there?
