Freeview appoints new General Manager

DTV Services Limited, the company which owns and is responsible for marketing Freeview, has announced the appointment of Lib Charlesworth as General Manager, Operations.
Charlesworth joins Freeview from BSkyB where she previously held the position of Strategic Operations Manager. In her new role, she will be responsible for the day-to-day operational management of Freeview/DTV Services Limited, which is jointly owned by the BBC, Crown Castle and BSkyB.
With a career history that spans nine years at BSkyB in marketing, operational and product development functions, including close involvement in the launch of Freeview, Charlesworth brings extensive knowledge of the digital television industry and a commitment to deepen and extend Freeview’s relationships with manufacturers and retailers. Charlesworth’s appointment follows the departure earlier this year of Freeview’s former General Manager, Matthew Seaman.
Andy Duncan, Chairman of Freeview/DTV Services Limited, commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Lib on board. Freeview has been a great success story, and Lib’s role is to build on this. Freeview has certainly proved to be a compelling proposition for the UK public, and I’m sure that this growth will continue.”
