He took control of BBC Three in December 2014 and oversaw the channel\u2019s migration online in February 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Johnston said: \u201cTiger Aspect is a unique business, a genuinely multi-genre company with a thriving slate, including global scripted hits, innovative new comedy and entertainment and multi-award-winning kids&#8217; and animation. Damian is a brilliant creative leader who has taken BBC Three from strength to strength and I can\u2019t think of anyone more suited to take Tiger Aspect to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kavanagh said: \u201cI\u2019ve had a wonderful time at BBC Three growing the channel as a digital youth brand and commissioning numerous hit shows loved by audiences and critics alike but feel that the chance to lead a company like Tiger Aspect with its brilliant diverse slate of programming is a rare opportunity that I simply couldn\u2019t let pass.
