BBC Crisis, Sky's Swoop & TikTok Takeover
Patrick Younge and James Warrington join Matt Deegan
Tim Davie’s departure has left the BBC at its most vulnerable moment in decades. Former BBC Chief Creative Officer Patrick Younge and Telegraph media editor James Warrington - whose paper broke the story that brought down the Director General - debate what went wrong and who could possibly want to take on the poisoned chalice.
We’re covering whether the BBC should pay Trump to make him go away (spoiler: they absolutely shouldn’t), why it took a week for the corporation to respond to criticism, and what the mysterious role of BBC board member Robbie Gibb really was in all this chaos. Also on the show, Sky eyeing up ITV’s broadcasting arm in a potential £1.6bn deal, Disney and YouTube locked in a carriage dispute that’s frustrating American football fans, and why TikTok is becoming the new frontier for traditional media.
Plus in the Audio Network Media Quiz, we play “TikTok News” - translating media stories into formats that Gen Z might actually understand.
