Duff poised to win top ITV sales post.
Graham Duff, the chief executive of Granada Enterprises, has emerged as frontrunner to lead ITV's sales team following the Government's approval of a Carlton and Granada merger.
His rival Martin Bowley has pocketed healthy bonuses during his reign at Carlton Sales, and is not thought to want the job.
The decision to allow Carlton and Granada to form a single ITV will result in a massive wave of redundancies as duplicated jobs at all levels are stripped from the new structure to create a leaner, more efficient competitor to Sky and the BBC.
