Sound kinky dont it?
Looks like Ben Cooper has the vague possiblility of being out of a job, from MediaGuardian:
BBC Radio 1 controller Andy Parfitt is to restructure his senior management team having been named the corporation's teen tsar.
Mr Parfitt, the architect of the Radio 1's recent renaissance, has created three new management roles at Radio 1 and its sister digital station 1Xtra.
Responsibility for programming at the two stations will be split into two separate head of programme posts.
There will also be an new, as yet unnamed, position with responsibility for editorial standards across Radio 1 and 1Xtra, and the BBC's radio and music interactive services.
At the moment, Ben Cooper is head of mainstream programmes at Radio 1 and Ian Parkinson is head of specialist Radio 1, speech and 1Xtra.
Both those existing roles will close and Mr Cooper and Mr Parkinson will have to apply for the new jobs.
Mr Parfitt's new teen tsar role came about as part of Creative Future review by the BBC director general, Mark Thompson, which is resulting in 6,000 job losses and 15% budgets cuts to finance the £355m-a-year reinvention of the BBC for the digital age.
The Radio 1 boss led the area of Creative Future that looked into how the BBC serves children and teenagers and was earlier this year charged with developing a strategy to better serve youngsters.
Wonder if Aled or Rachel will apply for these new jobs? Does anyone care?
