Tim Worner has been named as CEO of the Seven Network in a move that has been anticipated since the departure of commercial boss James Warburton to lead Ten.

However, the network’s driving force David Leckie will remain as CEO of parent company Seven West Media.

Worner – who has been studying for an MBA in preparation for the role – was previously the network’s director of programming and production.

Seven West media chairman Kerry Stokes said: ““We are delighted that Tim has accepted this role. He is an outstanding executive and has played a key role in Seven’s success. Tim’s intimate knowledge of programming and production provide him with the experience to ensure Seven’s continuing success.”
