Matt Wells and the Media Talk team return after their summer break, and what a show they have to celebrate their grand return.
We begin by analysing Richard Desmond's efforts to purchase Channel Five from RTL. What can the owner of Television X and Red Hot TV bring to a national channel? Maggie Brown shares her thoughts.
From there, we move on to the tombola of media news, rounding up the big stories we missed during our hiatus, including Jonathan Ross's final farewell to the BBC; Jeremy Hunt's attack on the licence fee; Jon Gaunt losing his appeal over this interview; Will Lewis's new job at the Times; the appointment of a new controller at Radio 4; Piers Morgan heading to CNN; and the Raoul Moat saga. Steve Busfield fills in the blanks.
Finally, we hear from BBC 6 Music DJ Jon Holmes about his latest venture - as the producer of Radio 5 Live's new magazine show, Men's Hour.
Leave your feedback on the blog below and - if you're that way inclined - find us on Facebook and Twitter too.
