LONDON: Viacom International Media Networks\u2019 Channel 5 has appointed industry veteran Sarah Muller as the head of children\u2019s.<\/p>\n

In her new role, Muller will be tasked with the commissioning and acquisition of children\u2019s programming for Channel 5. She will also oversee the preschool programming strand Milkshake!

\u201cSarah has a wealth of experience in the children\u2019s television industry across both live action and animation and her expertise will help us grow Milkshake! into the leading preschool destination for British families,\u201d said Dunthorne. \u201c2016 has been one of the most successful years in Channel 5\u2019s and Milkshake!\u2019s history and we are confident that with Sarah\u2019s appointment, the preschool strand will continue to go from strength to strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muller added: \u201cI am thrilled to be joining Channel 5. To helm children\u2019s content on the network is a huge opportunity.
