About this listen
Dan Thomas is the global media editor of the Financial Times and its former business editor. We discuss the turbulence shaking up the UK media industry: the high-stakes merger talks between ITV and Sky – what that means for the future of public service broadcasting, the challenges posed by increasing media consolidation and what lies ahead for major players like Channel 4.
We also discuss the current leadership crisis at the BBC and the potential impact of the government's long-awaited green paper.
"Sky buying ITV—you know, the biggest UK commercial public sector broadcaster—is massive. This wouldn’t have been thinkable, really, not so long ago. And it changes the whole public sector broadcasting landscape. It has huge ramifications for what happens to the BBC. It has huge importance for Channel 4."
