Gwyneth Williams appointed BBC Radio 4 controller

Following on from my earlier posts here and here the BBC has announced that Gwyneth Williams is to be appointed to replace Mark This from John Plunkett of The Guardian....

A senior BBC World Service executive, Gwyneth Williams, has been appointed as the new controller of BBC Radio 4. Williams, who began her BBC career in 1976 and was most recently responsible for the World Service's international radio programmes in English, will succeed Mark Damazer in the autumn.
She will also oversee the digital radio station BBC Radio 7, which is being rebranded Radio 4 Extra with closer ties to its parent speech station.
Williams was previously head of radio current affairs, responsible for programmes such as File On 4, Analysis and From Our Own Correspondent, as well as editor of the Reith lectures.
She began her career in Bush House as a trainee talks writer for the World Service in 1976. She went on to become producer and duty editor of the World Tonight and deputy editor, special current affairs programmes, overseeing election coverage. She was editor of policy and social programmes from 1994 to 1996 and oversaw the launch of current affairs programmes on BBC Radio 5 Live, edited Radio 4's The Week in Westminster and worked briefly for BBC1's On The Record. She has also been editor of foreign affairs radio and the bi-media editor for home current affairs.
