We go on the road with Media Talk this week, specifically to Oxford for the annual media convention. Little did we know that we'd be at the eye of two storms - the weather, and the controversy surrounding Big Brother. Never has this event seen so much attention. But with a speaker line-up that included C4 chief executive Andy Duncan, Ofcom boss Ed Richards, and culture secretary Tessa Jowell, it was not surprising. We hear from them all.

There was also the minor matter of the licence fee deal - on hand to dissect the implications are Emily Bell, director of digital content at the Guardian, and Anthony Lilley, chief executive of Magic Lantern Productions.

Away from the media spotlight was an interesting debate about the changing patterns of media consumption in relation to news and current affairs, plus the usual head-scratching about how media companies can make the numbers stack up in the digital future. We've got the highlights.

Happy listening.
