ITV has announced that Royal Mail boss Adam Crozier is to become the broadcaster's new chief executive.
The announcement marks the end of ITV's long search for a replacement for Michael Grade, who said last April that he wished to give up the role.
Prior to joining the Royal Mail, Mr Crozier had been the boss of the Football Association.
Mr Crozier returned the Royal Mail to profitability, but the postal service has also been hit by strike action.
ITV said he was due to take up the chief executive position "later this year".
