In his Facebook post he also admitted that he was interested in the CEO post at PBS.

In the post, published yesterday morning, Bundy said that he had been offered the position of head of radios at PBS in 2012. He had not taken up the offer however, claiming that he had given his word to Muscat that he would stay on at ONE TV until the 2013 elections.

He goes on to say that taking up the position with Silvio Scerri - home affairs' minister's chief of staff - in charge of PBS would have been difficult and that he wanted to stand by decisions he made in the past.
