Coronation Street has announced that Kim Crowther has been appointed Producer of the show.

Current Corrie Producer Steve Frost will bow out at the end of March 2008 after two and a half years on the soap.

Kim will join the show in the New Year to allow a handover period with Steve while Kieran Roberts, Controller of Drama for ITV, will continue in his role as Executive Producer.

Kim joined Coronation Street as Script Editor in 2001 and quickly progressed to the role of Series Editor. Prior to Coronation Street, Kim worked as a member of the storyline team on Emmerdale.

She trained as a director in America attending New York University and achieved her MA in Film Production at the Northern Film School in Leeds. Two of the short films she directed were screened in the ITV Yorkshire region prior to Kim deciding to move from film to television.

She is married to, Simon, a writer, and they have two children, three and a half year-old Danielle and Jake, who’s 13 months.

“I'm thrilled to be back working on the show that's closest to my heart,” Kim said. “From my time as Series Editor while Richard Hillman gripped the nation, through to the current meltdown of David Platt, Corrie has proved it does things differently, having the ability to move, amuse and excite its audience all at the same time.

“I'm looking forward to building on the show's recent successes while creating must-see storylines for 2008 and beyond.”

Steve is remaining in ITV Productions and will take on an important role in the drama department.

Emmerdale’s Producer, Kath Beedles, is also leaving at the end of the year. Click here to read more

Director of ITV Productions, John Whiston, said: “It’s a time of change for the soaps. In the last couple of years under Steve and Kath and their teams, both soaps have defied gravity and held on to their massive audiences while all around were losing theirs. That is because they are the best written, performed and produced shows on television. The ratings and the awards speak for themselves.

“Both Steve and Kath are a terribly tough act to follow. That’s why we are all thrilled that we’ve got Kim and Anita to step into their shoes. These jobs require passion, judgment, diplomacy, invention and above all superhuman stamina. Kim and Anita have proved they have all these qualities in abundance and I know they can’t wait to take over ITV’s crown jewels.

“I’m also just as excited that we’ve persuaded Steve and Kath to stay within the company. We will be unleashing them soon into the wider drama arena, where I know they will deliver great new shows for ITV Productions.”
