Steve Hewlett presents a topical programme about the fast-changing media world. Google's plans for the future and a change in direction at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ.
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trust has published an open letter to licence payers. In it they react to James Murdoch's recent criticism of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and reveal details of what they say licence payers think about government plans to share the licence fee with other broadcasters, and announcing a new strategic review of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's services. We hear from Sir Michael Lyons, Chairman of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trust.
Google is the giant of search engines: 90 per cent of all internet seraches in the UK go through it. But with this market dominance comes criticism, including concerns over lack of competition and user privacy. As Google sets out to digitise the world's entire stock of books, Steve Hewlett talks to Matt Brittin, managing director of Google UK, about the company's plans for the future.
