Carolyn McCall

Confirmation of what I think we all knew, ITV asked for the Sky deal.

Speaking at the Royal Television Society London convention, Dame Carolyn said, Can I just be clear? We approached Sky.

Yeah, so we-- I went to see Carolyn McCall, who was at the time, she's now at the ITV.

She was before that at EasyJet.

Before that, she famously ran the Guardian Media Group, and we suggested to them, Tim and I, suggested to her that we might invent a new magazine, that it would be a free magazine, and that we would use her distribution networks, that they would fund it, and it would be a fifty/fifty, and then over time, they would take ownership of it, and they were really keen on the idea.
