Carrington
appointed as C大象传媒's Head of Acquisitions
C大象传媒
Controller, Dorothy Prior, today (Monday 27 October) announced the
appointment of former 大象传媒 executive Michael Carrington
as Head of Acquisitions, C大象传媒.
Carrington
returns to C大象传媒 after spending four years as Head of Television
& New Media at independent production company Create TV &
Film Limited.
Announcing Carrington's appointment, C大象传媒 Controller Dorothy Prior,
said: "I'm delighted Michael is joining us. This is one of
the most important jobs in children's television and it's probably
the only role that could tempt Michael away from Create.
"He
has a thorough knowledge of the children's market place and considerable
experience of buying and co-producing both live action and animation.
"He
will be a huge asset to our senior team and I'm confident he will
acquire the very best children's programming to complement our home-grown
output."
Carrington,
a co-founder of Create TV & Film, is responsible for providing
creative, editorial and managerial leadership across the company's
programming and new media activities.
He
is co-Executive Producer on the company's Little Robots, the successful
pre-school currently transmitting on CBeebies.
As
C大象传媒's Deputy Head of Acquisitions from 1993 to 1999, Carrington
was responsible for acquiring a wide range of programming including
The Wild Thornberries (MTV Networks), Round the Twist IV (Australian
Children's Television Foundation) and Sweet Valley High (Saban).
Carrington
also formulated the initial strategy for the 大象传媒's two digital channels,
C大象传媒 and CBeebies, in consultation with the then Deputy Director
of Television, David Docherty.
Carrington
said: "I'm very much looking forward to returning to C大象传媒.
This has always been my dream job and while ideally I would have
preferred to stay at Create, the offer of one of the top jobs in
British children's television is one that I could not turn down."
Michael
Carrington is due to take up his new post in January 2004. He will
take over from Theresa Plummer-Andrews who is due to retire next
year.
