In the newly established role at Channel 4, he will work closely with the broadcaster&#8217;s new head of features and formats, Sarah Lazenby, across the department\u2019s slate of programming\u2014with a particular focus on Channel 4\u2019s 8 p.m. slot. Doyle will also have specific responsibility for leading features and formats\u2019 work with nations and regions producers. Prior to joining Channel 5, he was head of development for BBC features, formats and daytime.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Webb-Lamb, Channel 4\u2019s deputy director of programs, said: \u201cSean has a brilliant creative mind as well as a sharp eye for an opportunity which is exactly what we need in features and formats. He\u2019s deeply rooted in the nations and regions and will be a key figure in our work there. And&#8230; he\u2019s got a wicked sense of humor, which means\u2014with him and Sarah Lazenby together\u2014the features and formats team will without doubt be in line for the \u2018funniest corner of broadcasting\u2019 award. I can\u2019t wait to have him here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lazenby said: \u201cSean is a really experienced commissioner, with a palpable passion for making TV, and I can\u2019t wait for him to join the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doyle added: \u201cAfter three fantastic years with Ben and my colleagues in the commissioning team it is with a heavy heart that I leave Channel 5. However, the opportunity to join the newly merged features and formats team at Channel 4 is one that I am truly relishing and couldn\u2019t resist. I honestly can\u2019t wait to get cracking on the hunt to find the biggest and best ideas from all over the U.K. for the department as part of this hugely exciting new era for Channel 4.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Doyle has been appointed as Channel 4&#8217;s new deputy head of features and formats, joining the broadcaster from Channel 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":8675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[117],"class_list":["post-8674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
