And a tip o’ the hat to VJ Ruud Elmendorp who turned me on to this one.

During this time, he has lead a drive for video literacy, and the complete rethinking of how television is made and controlled. His work has included: The complete transitioning of The BBC's national network (UK) to a VJ-driven model, starting in 2002.
