JP Morgan has named a head of media investment banking in Europe, the new role being the latest change among London's bulge bracket media bankers this year.

Filippo Lo Franco, previously head of European media equity research at the bank, will take up the role early next year, according to an internal statement seen by Financial News. He will report to David Lomer and Markus Boser, co-heads of telecoms, media and technology banking in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
