(Sharecast News) - Ofcom has appointed Jonathan Oxley as the new chief executive of the media watchdog on an interim basis .
Jonathan Oxley is currently Group Director for Competition and Board member for Ofcom. He will step up as interim Chief Executive when Sharon White leaves at the end of November.
