List of people who have turned the job down
The U.S. is said to be a particular area of focus for BBC Studios, which is being ambitious with its wishlist. One person familiar with the recruitment process said targets have included Gina Balian, FX Entertertainment’s president of original programming, and Paul Lee, the former ABC and BBC executive now running studio wiip. Peter Rice, Disney’s chairman of general entertainment, has also been linked to the role.
Salary is likely to be a big sticking point for these executives, however. Davie earned £600,000 in his final year as BBC Studios CEO and his successor may not receive this much, as the BBC drives down executive pay. BBC insiders acknowledge that it is unable to match top market rates, but the hope is always that the corporation’s unique purpose is attractive.
