Should The BBC Pay Trump? (And 101 Other Questions)

It was one scandal too many for Tim Davie - where does his departure leave the BBC at this crucial time? And which talented exec would dare take on the role? Former Chief Creative Officer for BBC TV, Patrick Younge, and The Telegraph’s media editor James Warrington, whose paper broke this DG-slaying story, join us in the studio.

Also on the show: ITV is up for sale - well, at least the broadcasting arm is - our panel discuss why Sky is ready to snap it up... Plus, why a dispute between YouTube and Disney is frustrating US football fans... and, in the Audio Network Media Quiz, we consume all the news that’s fit to TikTok.

The Media Quiz is sponsored by Audio Network. Alex (who is a real person) selects the music for us to score each episode and she and her team can do it for you too at https://audionetwork.com
