Media Talk podcast: Smooth Radio, Edinburgh TV festival preview

Aug 15, 2013, 07:27 AM

John Plunkett is joined by creative director of Folder Media Matt Deegan and 50% of the Answer Me This podcast, Helen Zaltzman, to discuss the week's media news. As Global Radio moves Smooth Radio's operation to Leicester Square, we take a look at where UK commercial radio is heading – and if it can stop the ad revenue rot. Next week, TV's great and good are making the annual jaunt to Scotland – so we flip through the programme and offer our pick of the Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival. And Media Talk regular Stig Abell becomes the new managing editor of the Sun – we ask Roy Greenslade what his appointment means for the paper. Plus, Rebecca Nicholson reviews the first episode in the final run of Breaking Bad (avoiding spoilers), That Puppet Game Show on BBC1 and Dragons' Den on BBC2.
