I have read Greg Dykes book....I think he should now be heading the Olympic Team as Chief Executive. He has the golden touch. He could also turn the fortunes of Eurotunnel around!
I've added a comparison with the fall of Alasdair Milne, since that seemed as relevant to the political control of the BBC as the resignation of Hugh Greene.
Maybe it's me but this article sure seems short of some necessary sources. For example, I would think that some source should be used for the statement that the government is trying to kill the reporter. Also, the statement about his book being poorly reviewed should be supported. There are other instances, but these are starters.

Dyke appeared today on Radio 4's "The Personality Test". Someone may want to review this episode for relevant personal data before it disappears from the "Listen Again" page. (Factoid: his car number plate is MI6 WMD
.)

The section concerning Dyke's involvement with the Hutton Enquiry seems a little sparse, considering this is one of his career "highlights". It, and particularly the quotation from the staff email, seems to suggest Dyke accepts a good deal more culpability than was actually the case. I would suggest there is a contextual bias here.

Can anyone source a good, current main photo of Greg Dyke? Granted the one that's here is very interesting and good in a historical sense, but I don't feel it's representative of what he's looked like for the last 30 years.Cheers. Kaleeyed ( talk) 15:51, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

" claiming that broadcast media had always more strictly regulated."
shouldn't this be, "had always been..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.23.132.213 ( talk) 14:57, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Isn't it significant that Dyke's grandfather was a Commissionaire at Television Center? Demonstrates BBC TV was an upwardly mobile place of employment. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Tales+of+Television+Centre&FORM=HDRSC3#view=detail&mid=0273EB5ABFE2A3FC75BA0273EB5ABFE2A3FC75BA User:JCHeverly 03:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
