Media Talk podcast: James Murdoch heads to New York

Matt Wells is joined by James Robinson and the Red Consultancy's head of broadcasting Neil Henderson for this week's Media Talk.

We start by discussing James Murdoch's move to New York after being promoted to the role of deputy COO in News Corporation. Who will take over from him here in London – and just how long now before he takes over from Rupert? Emily Bell joins us.

Also in the podcast, we look at Endemol's decision to buy a stake in Holy Moly. Is this another ITV/Friends Reunited deal waiting to happen?

Plus, we give our verdict on Kay Burley's long-awaited bonkbuster.

And finally, get ready to D-I-S-C-O pop pickers! BBC4 rolls back the years and the flares to broadcast vintage episodes of Top of the Pops. Is this bold and visionary programming – or just an easy way for Richard Klein to keep his channel in the news now that The Killing's finished? Not 'Arf.
