Channel 4 Nears CEO Decision Before Christmas
Channel 4, a big TV network in the UK, is about to pick a new boss.
The old boss left months ago, and now they're choosing between two main people: Jonathan Allan, who's already working there, and Emma Lloyd, who works for Netflix.
They might announce who the new boss is before Christmas.
Some other people were considered, but they're not in the running anymore.
The person in charge of picking the new boss is Geoff Cooper.
Everyone is excited to see who gets the job, especially since Channel 4 is going through some big changes.
Channel 4 is expected to announce its new CEO before Christmas.
The top candidates are Jonathan Allan (current interim CEO) and Emma Lloyd (Netflix VP).
The recruitment process has been closely guarded, with even senior figures unsure.
Sarah Rose, previously considered, is leaving to run a charitable foundation.
Geoff Cooper, Channel 4's chair, has led the recruitment process.
