Jonathan Allan, Interim CEO of Channel 4, said:
“I would like to congratulate Geoff Cooper on his appointment and, on behalf of everyone at Channel 4, extend a warm welcome to this uniquely special broadcaster at a critical time for public service media in the UK.
“Geoff brings extensive board-level experience from a wide range of businesses, as well as proven commercial acumen. As a publicly owned but commercially funded company, his fresh insights and new perspectives will be invaluable as we look to the next phase in Channel 4's evolution.
“I also want to thank Dawn Airey for her outstanding leadership and huge support as Interim Chair since April. This has been Dawn’s second spell as Interim Chair and we owe her a huge debt of gratitude as she returns to her important role as a brilliant Non-Executive Director.”
