It's a royal-free zone on this week's Media Talk, and Matt Wells is joined by Maggie Brown and Steve Ackerman, managing director of Somethin' Else.
Our first port of call is Channel 5, and after owner Richard Desmond began moves to pull the plug on the broadcaster's contract with Sky News, we analyse his plans to pursue a more entertainment-based agenda.
Also in the podcast, we hear from some of the winners at this year's Guardian Student Media Awards (before telling them that actually, they'd be better off following a career in an entirely different and more prosperous industry, even if Rupert Murdoch's 'iNewspaper' might just be the thing to save us all).
Finally, we turn our attention to radio (well, audio) to discuss Spotify's financial woes, more disagreement over DAB, and whether Katie Price plus the Today programme is a marriage made in editorial heavan.
Post your feedback on the blog below, and keep up to date with us on Twitter. We promise no Jason Manford-style after-hours chats. Probably.
