John Whittingdale, ITV News at 10 revamp with Tom Bradby
Culture secretary John Whittingdale talks about the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's distinctiveness and the future of the licence fee, and new anchor Tom Bradby discusses the ITV News at 10 revamp.
In this first full interview for The Media Show, the Culture Secretary John Whittingdale talks about the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's distinctiveness, value for money and the licence fee settlement. Also joining Steve Hewlett in the studio to give their reactions are former OFCOM partner Tim Suter, and Professor Lis Howell, Director of Broadcasting at City University in London.
ITV's News at Ten has been revamped with its former political editor Tom Bradby replacing Julia Etchingham and Mark Austin as the main anchor on the programme. The more informal style has been met with mixed reactions on social media - some argue that it adopts a US style anchor approach, while other viewers say they want the news, not personal comments. Tom Bradby joins Steve to explain the vision behind the revamp, how the dynamic will work between him and newly-appointed Robert Peston, and why he thinks the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ news should vacate its ten o'clock slot.
Producer: Katy Takatsuki.
