Sir Michael Lyons on 大象传媒 Worldwide's new direction; Oprah's influence on UK television; one of the companies bidding to take over from ITV regional news.

Sir Michael Lyons, chairman of the 大象传媒 Trust, has announced changes to the remit of 大象传媒 Worldwide, the 大象传媒's commercial arm. Steve Hewlett asks if the Trust was right to approve 大象传媒 Worldwide's acquisition of Lonely Planet and if 大象传媒 Worldwide will now be sold off.
