Roly Keating has appointed Kate Mordaunt as the new head of planning and scheduling for BBC Two.

The move marks a return to the channel for Mordaunt, who previously acted as BBC Two's schedule manager for four years before moving to become head of planning and scheduling for BBC daytime in 2004.

"Kate combines impressive experience in the competitive world of daytime scheduling with a deep knowledge of BBC Two from her previous work on the channel," said Keating. "It's a real pleasure to welcome her back to lead the channel's outstanding planning and scheduling team."
