Edinburgh TV Festival Video: Channel 5’s Ben Frow

At this year’s Edinburgh TV Festival, Ben Frow, the director of programs at Channel 5, took part in a “Meet the Controllers” session.

In a departure from the usual controller session format, Frow’s “Truth, Lies and Videotape” saw the channel boss and other brave members of his team appear in a very special Edinburgh TV Festival version of a Channel 5 hit show, Me and My…Commissioners (the highs, the lows and how to get a commission). Frow also discussed the challenges he faces in his role and what the future may hold.

In its 43rd year, the Edinburgh International Television Festival is the seminal media event bringing together all parts of the TV world to celebrate the creativity, diversity and inspirational talent in our field and to debate major industry issues. The 2018 event took place from August 22 to 24. To view more content from the conference visit: https://www.youtube.com/edtvfest
