Ten says programming chief Beverley McGarvey will stay in role
McGarvey
The Ten Network has confirmed Beverley McGarvey will stay on in her chief programming officer job when she returns from maternity leave, after court documents revealed John Stephens was vying for the role.
However, Ten has refused to reveal who will be filling in as the top programmer for McGarvey while she takes her maternity leave.
Speculation about her future was prompted by an email exchange between Ten CEO Hamish McLennan and Stephens – the veteran programmer at the centre of a legal battle between the network and Seven – where Stephens suggested he take on the role of director of scheduling and acquisitions.
What an absolute mess.
No programmer for the next six weeks, a dis-enfranchised and humiliated programmer of her return, a public and expensive legal battle with no winners and..
Record low ratings and little choice for advertisers.
Who should be held accountable ?
Secrets and lies sounds about right
Shocking treatment of a key employee. Resource wasting ego trips to court against competitors. Who’ll be the next scapegoat (edited by Mumbrella for legal reasons)?
I’m really just looking forward to her giving birth to dragons and ruling the Seven Kingdoms.
