The former head of Channel 4 has said she hopes the next director-general can “make the BBC great” and spoke of her love for the organisation after being made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
Alex Mahon, 52, who was honoured for services to broadcasting and diversity at St James’s Palace on Thursday, was the first woman to serve as chief executive officer for Channel 4, a position she held between 2017 and 2025.
