Popular TV personality John Bundy is set to be named the new chief executive officer of PBS when Anton Attard’s contract expires next week.

Mr Attard has occupied the post since August 2010.

Calls for his removal have been abundant since the Labour Party won the 2013 election.

Mr Bundy started his TV career on Smash TV but moved on to the Nationalist’s Party’s media, later to TVM, and finishing off with Labour’s Super One.
