This man has his hands on them all.
I'd missed this, but an article / interview with the Artful Bodger in Classical Music Magazine (19 Jan 2008 edition) has him taking on the management of BBC's part in the 2012 Cultural Olympics too.
He also has more to say about the reaction to schedule changes and so on..... Blah Blah
The changes were to get noticed. If he'd kept everyone happy then no one would have kicked up a fuss and no one would have notcied. A license fee enables him to not worry about chasing ratings.
There's more, but I don't want to spoil the article for you.....
