On this week's Media Talk, Matt Wells is joined by Steve Busfield and Jane Martinson to discuss the appointment of Lord Burns as the new chairman of Channel 4. We'll look at exactly what the so-called "Lord Fixit" has to do. You can keep up to date with the rest of the movers and shakers at the top of commercial television in our Big Cheese Chart.
Also in the podcast, the licence fee's days look numbered following Greg Dyke's (leaked) review of the Tories' media policy. We look at the ever-mounting tensions between the BBC and the Conservatives.
Finally, 6Music DJ George Lamb's been put out to pasture as part of the digital station's revamped lineup. Elizabeth Mahoney tells us about the life and times of British broadcasting's bête noire.
Have a listen and post your comments on the blog below. We're also on Twitter and Facebook. The new edition of our North Atlantic cousin Media Talk USA is available now, as is Steve Busfield's book on - you guessed it - The Wire.
