A man pushes a cart outside BBC Broadcasting House, after Director General Tim Davie and CEO of BBC News Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday, November 9, following accusations of bias at the British broadcaster, including in the way it edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump, in London, Britain, November 14, 2025. REUTERS/Isabel Infantes Brittin's appointment was approved by the BBC board at a meeting on Thursday, with an official announcement expected this week, the report said.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. BBC did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.
In January, BBC said Director-General Tim Davie would step down on April 2 and be temporarily succeeded by Rhodri Talfan Davies, the broadcaster's director of nations, until a permanent replacement is appointed.
Davie announced his resignation in Novemberfollowing criticism of the British corporation's news service over the misleading editing of a video clip of U.S. President Donald Trump.
