The bid for Sky; Christmas TV; 大象传媒 Monitoring

Andrea Catherwood asks what is next for Murdoch's bid for Sky, takes a look at TV schedules versus on-demand services, and considers the future of 大象传媒 Monitoring.

SKY takeover: Beyond the prominent arguments, what are legal and regulatory hurdles that the 20th Century Fox bid has to clear? And, how does the situation differ from last time, when Murdoch's NewsCorp made a bid in 2010? We speak to Jon Zeff, former Director of Media at the Department for Culture Media and Sport.

Christmas TV Schedules: What can the TV schedules this Christmas tell us about the health of terrestrial channels as they compete with video on demand services like Netflix and Amazon? TV Critic Kevin O'Sullivan and Ben Preston, Editor of the Radio Times discuss.

How important is 大象传媒 Monitoring? And who should be paying for a service that meets the needs of both the 大象传媒 and the Government? We hear from former 大象传媒 Monitoring employee and Associate Fellow at Chatham House, Keir Giles and from Stuart Seaman, the outgoing Father of the Chapel for the National Union of Journalists at 大象传媒 Monitoring at Caversham Park about the work the service does.

Producer: Ruth Watts.
