Root out at Discovery

From the Guardian:

    Jane Root is leaving her US job running Discovery Channel and returning to the UK “to pursue other opportunities in the media industry”, fuelling speculation that she is a contender for the BBC1 controller post.

    Discovery Channel owner Discovery Networks and Root confirmed early today that the former BBC2 controller was leaving the US cable broadcaster.

    “After much consultation with friends and family, I have decided that this is the best time for me to leave Discovery and return to the United Kingdom to pursue other opportunities in the media industry,” Root said.

DCRTV previously had heard rumors of the move.
