Media Talk podcast: are we ready for a News of the People?

John Plunkett is joined by the Guardian's head of media and technology Dan Sabbagh and director of Mediatique Matthew Horsman to discuss the week's top media stories.

Sue Douglas wants to turn the People into the News of the People – but has the gap in the market left by the closure of the News of the World gone for good? Roy Greenslade provides his analysis.

Plus, we take a look at the state of business at ITV as its shares continue to climb – and how it compares with the situation at Channel 4, where a standoff with media buyers Group M has exposed some of the channel's weaknesses on-screen.

And Vicky Frost drops in to review Splash! and new Channel 4 drama Utopia.

What does ITV's share price mean on screen? Are you watching their channels more? Please leave your thoughts on any of our topics in the comments below...
