Media Talk podcast: Channel 4 and ITV share spoils at the Baftas

It's our penultimate episode here on Media Talk, but that hasn't prevented a bumper edition of analysis and debate on the podcast.

Mediaguardian reporter Maggie Brown, Answer Me This presenter Helen Zaltzman and managing director of content company Somethin' Else Steve Ackerman are all here to sift through the bigger media stories of the week.

Channel 4 and ITV took home eight awards each at the Bafta Television Awards on Sunday – with the BBC shuffling in behind with four. Was it such a bad year for the broadcaster, creatively?

The Sun are to give away free, special editions of the paper during the World Cup – but without its Page 3 models. Are we finally seeing some movement on the issue in Wapping?

Plus, John Plunkett learns why Freeview might be safe from a further 4G auction – and why it was in danger in the first place.

And in the final ever TV lair, Vicky Frost reviews MasterChef, the Chelsea Flower Show and a resurgent Mad Men.
