LA is much sunnier than LDN for BBC execs

BBC Worldwide Production, the exporting arm of Auntie has changed agencies in Los Angeles from ICA to CAA, according to Deadline.com

Sources tell me CAA agreed to rep not just the company but also Mark Thompson, Director-General of the BBC, and John Smith, Chief Executive of BBC Worldwide, on the downlow. The reason is that both top execs are convinced they’re about to lose their high-powered jobs. I’m told they want CAA to act as their personal head-hunters and find their next executive positions — hopefully with a media company in the U.S.
