On Friday 13th November, Paris became the site of Western Europe's deadliest terrorist attack in over ten years. From the immediate aftermath of the attacks through to the end of the weekend and into this week, the story received heavy coverage across all 大象传媒 Radio networks, with 大象传媒 Radio 5 Live dedicating a whole day to rolling news about Paris on Saturday. It was a major story, but was 大象传媒 Radio's response proportionate? We hear your reaction.

As the fight over Britain's membership of the EU intensifies, the upcoming referendum has become ripe territory for 大象传媒 Radio 4's satirists. When last Friday's The Now Show took a comedic look at the subject, some listeners were deeply unhappy with what they perceived as a 'staying in' bias. Should the 大象传媒 be scrutinising its output for bias already? And is it possible to have truly balanced comedy? Roger Bolton speaks to the 大象传媒's Chief Adviser on Politics, Ric Bailey.

This time last year, 大象传媒 Radio 5 Live's schedule was overhauled. Three of its biggest presenters, Shelagh Fogerty, Richard Bacon and Victoria Derbyshire, left and, as a consequence or not, so did 10% of the listenership. How has 5 Live fared since? Roger speaks to the network's controller Jonathan Wall to discuss ratings, sports rights and the booming sister station 5 Live Sports Extra.

Last week, a brand new DAB station called 大象传媒 Music Jazz burst into existence, offering listeners music by all the greats from Gershwin to Gillespie. 大象传媒 Music Jazz was a pop up station - a temporary digital channel created in collaboration with Jazz FM. And listeners loved it. We look back at the brief and smoking life of 大象传媒 Music's first Jazz pop up.
