Media Talk: Women in the media

John Plunkett has Maggie Brown in the studio for this week's Leveson inquiry-free edition of Media Talk, and we begin by asking why women are still so under-represented across the media industry. Kira Cochrane, who's been investigating the issue, pops in to offer her thoughts.

Next, Mark Sweney helps us round up some of the other stories of the past seven days, including new controller Ben Cooper's shakeup at Radio 1; the demise of the Medway News; and why the wheels have come off the BBC's coverage of Formula One.

Finally, Vicky Frost helps us pick the best – and the worst – of this year's Christmas TV.
