John Plunkett is joined by MediaGuardian reporter Maggie Brown and Shortlist Media chief executive Mike Soutar to discuss the week's media news.

Maggie Brown has been hearing Ofcom's departing chair, Dame Colette Bowe, explain how she thinks the BBC should share its licence fee, in an extension of contestable funding. What will it mean for the other public service broadcasters – and can any top-slicing avoid government bureaucracy?
Plus, in Rebecca Nicholson's TV Lair, the reviewer discusses the second series of House of Cards, Sky1's new drama The Smoke and ITV2's The Big Reunion.
