Alex Godfrey, the editor of Bizarre magazine, has been appointed as the controller of Sumo.tv

Godfrey has been editor of Bizarre since 2003. His new role will involve commissioning programmes and supervising the schedule and output, building the Sumo.tv brand in the UK and abroad.

"I'm delighted to bring Alex Godfrey on board," said James Brown, group creative and editorial director at Sumo.tv.

"He was the first person I thought of when looking for someone to oversee the day-to-day content of the channel and website.

"At Bizarre he managed an extremely profitable magazine with content that was far removed from the mainstream. Sumo.tv's exciting and challenging short form content is perfect for a man of his contacts, experience and interests."
