TV4 hires E4 and More4 chief Stallwood
Swedish pay and free TV broadcaster TV4 has named Channel 4 executive Karolina Stallwood as channel head for its TV4 Film, TV4 Gold and TV4 Comedy services.
Stallwood is channel head of UK broadcaster Channel 4’s E4 and More4 channels, having joined from Comedy Central, where she was programme director, in 2012. She has also worked as scheduling and planning director at Channel 5.
At TV4 she will be charged with optimising the three channels for new distribution platforms.
Stallwood, who will take up her new role on May 1, will report to channel director Peter Lindstrom.
Stallwood said she saw many “common points” between Channel 4 and TV4 Group and that she believed the Swedish market is forward-looking, with TV4 leading the way in content, design and strategic thinking.
