Media Talk: The Murdochs in Abu Dhabi and BBC digital radio roulette

Another week, another Media Talk.

Matt Wells is joined by Stephen Brook and Steve Ackerman to discuss brand extensions and digital spin-offs as the BBC plans to offer a sweetener for culling 6 Music by repackaging its DAB radio offering. What is Tim Davie up to?

Also in the podcast, we bring you the latest on Alexander Lebedev's purchase of the Independent. As Noel Edmonds might say, deal or no deal?

Plus, Charles Allen's got himself a new job – EMI: you have been warned – and we have all the highlights from the inaugural Abu Dhabi Media Summit, where Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch have been letting rip about paywalls, copyright, and, er, handbags.

Have a listen and comment on the blog below, or find us iTunes, Facebook, and Twitter.

And, if you're interested in coming to the recording of our live Politics Weekly podcast in Manchester; or attending next week's Media Guardian Changing Media Summit; or entering the 2010 Guardian Student Media Awards (launching Monday 15 March, so hold tight), please click appropriately.
