Tuesday 1st June saw a new Director-General appointed to run Austenasian Television Productions (ATP).
Lord Charles Ross, Duke of Occidentia was appointed to the position on Tuesday by Emperor Jonathan I.
His Imperial Majesty had served as Director-General himself since founding ATP in December 2008.
ATP functions as Austenasia’s national public service broadcaster. Roughly analogous to the BBC, ATP is supported and promoted by the government but not controlled editorially.
Lord Ross has experience in journalism, broadcasting, and video production, and will be looking to create a regularly published series of Austenasian news videos.
He gave the following statement to the Times:
“I’m proud to announce that with the Emperor‘s blessing I’ve taken over the reins of Austenasian television as the new Director-General. With this I plan a complete revamp of our nation’s broadcasting system. As well as a revamp of existing systems, I plan to also bring in new mediums to promote and spread broadcasting throughout the Empire. I will work with the governors of Austenasia’s territories and dependencies to create their own local media outlets and YouTube pages, and will also work on creating a regularly broadcasted Austenasian video news program airing Empire-wide stories from around our Empire. I see this as an extraordinary opportunity and thank the Emperor and all subjects of the Empire for placing their trust in me. I hope to serve everyone well!”
Lord Ross previously served as Governor and then Governing Commissioner of Bregusland.
