How does Channel 4 plan to run its own production arm? And how long does the BBC have in its current form? Matt Deegan is joined by Dr Jon Wardle (NFTS) and broadcast consultant Ann Charles to digest the week’s media news.

Also on the programme: when the local radio market fails, can community radio fill the gap? Trevor Dann reports from Whitehall.

All that plus, we look at plans to move MIPTV from Cannes to London, why The Independent had picked up Buzzfeed... and, in the Media Quiz, we ask where all the talent has gone.
