Local TV in Norwich and London; Johnston Press; Mail on Sunday's Scoop of the Year
The Mail on Sunday wins scoop of year for its 'Crystal Methodist' story; Mustard TV and London Live launch; Johnston Press chief exec Ashley Highfield on the future of local news.
Local TV's come to Norwich and London, in the shape of Mustard TV and London Live. They are two very different stations, with Mustard TV being closer to what may be available in dozens of towns and cities in the coming 18 months. They follow the launch of Humber TV at the end of last year. Mustard's MD Fiona Ryder and London Live's launch director, Jane Mote, discuss the challenges ahead.
Johnston Press has increased its operating profit for the first time in 7 years, though overall losses are substantial. Chief Executive Ashley Highfield tells Steve why he believes the business "is no longer on the glide path to oblivion."
And the Mail on Sunday's editor, Geordie Greig, explains how he handled the "Crystal Methodist" story that won his paper the scoop of the year at last night's Press Awards.
Presenter: Steve Hewlett
Producer: Simon Tillotson.
