Media Talk: BBC beyond the M25

On this week's podcast, Jana Bennett, the BBC's director of vision, explains her radical plan for shifting the balance of TV power outside London. But, as we hear, not everyone is happy.

We also hear from the chairman of the BBC Trust, Sir Michael Lyons, who fired another shot across the bows of Ofcom this week.

Plus, the Guardian's director of digital content, Emily Bell, explains her view that newspapers are facing a dire year or two, with the prospect of several closures.

Maggie Brown is also on hand to provide expert commentary - including her view of Channel 4's decision to pull out of digital radio.

Do post your comments below, and we'll be back next week.
