London, England, UK
Dyke was educated at Hayes Grammar School and gained a degree in Politics from the University of York. He moved from journalism into broadcasting in 1977 when he joined London Weekend Television. He was subsequently Editor-in-Chief of TV-am and Director of Programmes for Television South before being appointed Director of Programmes at London Weekend Television in 1987, Managing Director (1990 - 1991) and Chief Executive (1991 - 1994).
Between 1995 and 1999 he was Chief Executive of Pearson Television, the largest independent production company outside of the United States. Read more...
However, it was the BBC's coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom, in particular Andrew Gilligan's report suggesting that the British Government had "sexed up" Iraq's military capability, which brought an end to Dyke's BBC career when he was forced to resign, along with BBC Chairman Gavyn Davies.
