On your latest edition of Media Talk, Matt Wells has John Plunkett and the Guardian's new head of media and technology Dan Sabbagh in the pod to analyse the week's media news.
First up, it's bye bye bye, Mark Byford. The BBC's deputy director general is the headline casualty in a cull of top jobs. Will his multimillion-pound payoff lead to a winter of discontent at the corporation?
From there, we move onto the mounting hostilities between News Corp and the BBC as Mark Thompson become the latest signatory to a letter calling on the government to block Rupert Murdoch's takeover of BSKyB.
Also in the podcast, we hear from Peter Horrocks about his concerns over the imminent budget cuts at the BBC World Service. (Here's that link to Frontline Club debate featuring Horrocks and chaired by Matt.)
Finally, we discuss the coverage of the Chilean miners; Andrew Marr's caustic summation of bloggers as "inadequate, pimpled and single"; Chris Moyles's mooted return to Global Radio's Capital; and we ask, was BBC3's Lip Service the best (or worst) drama about a bunch of twentysomething lesbians in Glasgow that's ever been made?
