The chief executive of UKTV, which owns channels including Dave and Gold, is quitting before a £1bn breakup of the broadcaster.
Darren Childs, who has driven ratings and seen profits surge from £29m to more than £90m in the past eight years, will leave on 1 July and is already being touted as a potential candidate for the chief executive vacancies at the Premier League and Premiership Rugby.
His departure comes as the BBC is poised to seal the biggest media deal in the corporation’s history. The corporation’s board is meeting next week and is expected to approve a deal to take control of the bulk of UKTV, which broadcasts 10 free-to-air and pay-TV channels, including a one-off payment of as much as £250m.
