[Swprograms] BBC Chairman Michael Grade to leave the BBC for ITV as of January '07

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Quoting the BBC's business editor, Robert Peston, "The timing of
Michael Grade's departure to ITV could hardly be worse for the BBC."

The sorting out of the licence fee renewals hasn't yet happened; the
BBC has advocated an increase beyond the nominal inflation rate;
Chancellor Gordon Brown has strenuously resisted this high an
increase, instead advocating a reduction in real terms.
