David Lyle is the hyper-energetic geologist turned commercial television exec who carved a place for himself in Australia, then went to Britain and finally to the US. He developed the Fox Reality Channel from scratch, ran the reality licensing and production outfit Fox Look, and then joined National Geographic, ultimately as CEO of National Geographic Channels.
