Media Talk for Friday March 14

Yes, I had a great holiday, thanks for asking. But I'm back into the swing of things this week with a top podcast that kicks off with news of Channel 4's big new statement of principles. Oddly, this co-incided with Ofcom's decision quietly to shelve the "public service publisher" idea. Could the two be related? Our panel, Emily Bell and Owen Gibson, certainly thinks so.

That's our top story, but much of the rest of the podcast focuses on reports and interviews from the MediaGuardian Changing Media Summit, which heard from representatives of MySpace, Google, the BBC, ft.com and the Wall Street Journal. We talk to them all.

Finally, Gareth McLean is here to run the rule over the week's TV news, which includes that rare story, a ratings success for ITV drama.
