The "Hunt" is over for a new BBC1 controller - but what do we make of the womaan who said only three weeks ago that she didn't want the job? The Guardian's director of digital content, Emily Bell, and media consultant Paul Robinson are on the case in this week's show.
We're also onto the "race row" between Morrissey and the NME - is it a symptom of the decline in music journalism? And what to make of the appointment of BBC Radio 5 Live controller Bob Shennan as the boss of Channel 4 radio - a wise move or a missed opportunity?
Plus we hear from John Barrowman and Russell T Davies about the new series of Torchwood. Is there any point in having a new pre-watershed edition - with the sex, violence and bad language taken out?
Don't miss Media Talk Extra on the Murdoch musical chairs.
