Media Talk for Friday October 5

In this week's media show we pick over the ruling by the Competition Commission that BSkyB's stake in ITV is anti-competitive. Will Sky have to sell or reduce its stake? And what will such corporate upheaval mean for ITV?

Plus, the crisis in children's television: we hear from Mike Watts, whose production company makes Horrid Henry and who's chairman of the children's and animation committee at the producers' group Pact.

Also this week, MediaGuardian.co.uk press correspondent Stephen Brook explains why Trinity Mirror took called off the sale of some of its regional newspapers, TV critic Mark Lawson admits he got it wrong over The Restaurant, and US commentator Jeff Jarvis talks about the "iPod moment" for newspapers.

On the panel, Emily Bell, director of digital content at the Guardian, and media correspondent Owen Gibson.

And don't miss Media Talk Extra on the 'Crowngate' affair.
