大象传媒 Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons on where the 大象传媒 will have to cut costs and banker Nicholas Shott on his review of government plans for local television news.
Yesterday the 大象传媒 Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons announced the 大象传媒's strategy review, saying that it couldn't rule out the closure of some services. Steve Hewlett talks to Michael Lyons about where the 大象传媒 cuts are likely to fall and his response to the culture secretary Jeremy Hunt's recent claims that 大象传媒 political reporting has been out of touch with the national mood.
Banker Nicholas Shott has been looking into the viability of US style local television news channels for the UK. In his report, commissioned by the government, he outlines how local television news would be funded. He talks to Steve Hewlett about the possibility of local television news at the touch of a digital button.
With changes to the 大象传媒 and television news on the horizon, media commentators Maggie Brown and Neil Midgley are in the studio to explain the implications of the 大象传媒 review and Nicholas Shott's report.
The producer is Simon Tillotson.
