Is the UK media obsessed with Westminster?
A major news story in Scotland confuses London-based media. Plus, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three returns as a linear channel, six years after it lost that spot.

Plus Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three is returning to televisions as a broadcast channel, six years after it lost the spot. But is this a clever ploy to win back younger viewers – or an anxious attempt to compete with the streaming giants?
