Media Talk at RTS Cambridge 2011

New theme tune and a new presenter – welcome to Media Talk 2.0 with John Plunkett.

We're in Cambridge this week for the RTS Convention, where the industry's been going potty about plurality and gaga about next generation TV.

We've got interviews with culture secretary Jeremy Hunt and BBC director general Mark Thompson about cross-media ownership, and reaction from Dan Sabbagh and Maggie Brown to BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten's comments on DQF.

You'll also hear from ITV's Peter Fincham and Fru Hazlitt; media big wigs Peter Bazalgette, Greg Dyke and Lorraine Heggessey; and – for a bit of light relief – Peep Show's David Mitchell.

We're back in the studio next week, but in the meantime, give us your feedback below. Our Facebook group's had a lick of paint too, so have a look.
