Is The BBC Heading For Disaster?
Jane Martinson and Paul Robinson join Matt Deegan
The Sidemen’s manager thinks the Beeb is heading for a Titanic-style disaster, whilst others are calling for radical changes to the corporation’s next ten-year plan. Guardian columnist and Scott Trust member Jane Martinson and broadcast consultant Paul Robinson debate whether the BBC can actually change course, or if it’s already too late.
We’re covering why The Times has fallen for two embarrassing hoaxes in just 30 days, whether the British Broadcasting Challenge report offers real solutions or just recycled ideas and how Canada accidentally leaked the Traitors finale early. Also on the show, Netflix licensing video podcasts from iHeart Media, Steve Coogan’s awkward libel settlement, and the ongoing Telegraph ownership saga.
Plus in the Media Quiz, we play “Glow Up” - giving three media stories the makeover treatment.
