Vilasinee to be new Thai PBS chief

Two-thirds of the station policy committee members who were present during the meeting voted to appoint her to the top job in the final round on Thursday.  There are nine policy committee members but two were absent from the Thursday meeting.
There were seven candidates for the post of director-general in the first selection round, won by Vilasinee, and the other candidate, former Nation Broadcasting Corp president Adisak Limprungpatanakij.
Vilasinee replaces Krissada Rueangareerat, who resigned in March after coming under criticism over Thai PBS’ investment in the debentures of Charoen Pokphand Foods.
