For industry insiders, the appointment is something of a surprise. Radio Times was rumoured to be interviewing editors from various rival listings magazines, indicating it was to take a more aggressively commercial approach.
The last time the magazine appointed from the broadsheets was in 2001, when former Daily Telegraph and Sunday Times journalist Nigel Horne was appointed editor. He was replaced 12 months later by Gill Hudson.
