Extra extra! Read all about it!
On this week's Media Talk we have an exclusive interview with the Evening Standard's controversial new proprietor Alexander Lebedev. Just what plans does the former KGB agent have for the title – and what are his plans when it comes to the Independent, and the London freesheet wars? Have a listen and let us know what you think. There are videos for you to peruse too.
Also in the podcast, Steve Busfield and Paul Robinson fill us in on the rest of the week's media news, including the potential mega-merger of ITV, Channel 4, and Five; the appointment of Barbara Slater – shock horror! a woman – as the new director of sport at the BBC; and the boardroom shakeup over at News Corp.
Finally, we cast our eye over the week's big television events, namely the University Challenge final, and the first all-black episode of Eastenders: mere tokensim or TV gold?
