By Steve Clarke One of the BBC’s most loved U.K. TV channels — once the home of “Mad Men” and “The Killing” — is facing uncertainty following the departure of a key executive.

Last week in a surprise move, the BBC announced that BBC Four editor Cassian Harrison will leave his post to take a new international job at BBC Studios overseeing global networks including BBC Earth and BBC Brit.

The reshuffle has set tongues wagging that Harrison’s decision to jump ship will lead to the demise of BBC Four, once the undisputed home of TV arts and culture in the U.K.
