From Chris Tryhorn in Media Guardian:

ITV unveiled a bold shakeup of senior management today, hiring former BBC1 controller Peter Fincham to replace Simon Shaps as director of television.

The company has also extended Michael Grade's reign as executive chairman by an extra year to the end of 2010.

And Dawn Airey, the managing director of global content, and Rupert Howell, the managing director of brand and commercial, have been appointed to the company's board with immediate effect.
