Media Talk: The Times redesign, Tony Blackburn, and Mariella Frostrup

It's a full house in the Media Talk pod this week, with Matt Wells joined by Emily Bell, James Robinson, and Stephen Brook (remember him?).

We begin - where else? - with the new Times and Sunday Times websites, and once again address the paywall issue. Elsewhere in the News Corporation empire, meanwhile, BSkyB is closing in on Virgin Media's TV channels. We look at the imminent shakeup in the commerical TV sector.

Also in the podcast, Tony Blackburn talks about life as the original superstar DJ, and surveys the current crop of radio talent.

Plus, grisly guttersnipes or the business brains of the future? We give our verdict on Junior Apprentice.

And finally, we reflect on Mariella Frostrup's rant against the BBC. Is the Today programme really run by 'a bunch of misogynists'?

Post your feedback on the blog below, or stalk us in cyberspace via Twitter or Facebook. Happy Eurovision!
