Ten is expected to tell staff today that Sam Heard, its head of marketing for sport, is leaving to take up a senior role with the V8 Supercars championship.
(Television) industry speculation on Heard's move will focus on whether it means a big shift in Ten's digital sports broadcasting strategy via digital channel One. It is widely regarded as a failure.
Heard had been Ten's vice-president of US programming in Los Angeles before returning to Australia last May to resume the role of marketing the network's ambitious push to become a dominant sports player with Ten's One channel.
