BBC Future Media & Technology (FM&T) director Erik Huggers and COO Kerstin Mogull are shuffling some chairs, in what looks like further multimedia integration and a response to BBC.co.uk overspending.

The move will extend FM&T execs in to each of the BBC’s other content units (Vision, Audio & Music and Mobile Media), NMA said - though a BBC spokesperson told paidContent:UK it’s not quite the “major reshuffle” claimed, just a “realignment” to ensure every FM&T exec post now maps on to an equivalent in the other three units.

That means two FM&T execs get new responsibilities…
—Anthony Rose (pictured left), Huggers’ right-hand man who was brought in from KaZaA last year as head of media technology, becomes controller of the Vision & Online Media Group.
—User experience controller Richard Titus (middle) becomes controller of Audio & Music and Mobile Media, following previous mobile head’s Matthew Postgate’s recent departure to lead R&D.
—Rahul Chakkara remains FM&T’s TV controller (responsible for red button interactivity) and Nic Newman remains journalism and digital distribution controller.
