Sir Michael Lyons responds to George Osborne's ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ deal; Lorraine Heggessey on the challenge facing new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½1 controller Danny Cohena; and the UK climbs up press freedom league.
After the chancellor George Osborne's announcement on the funding of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, Steve Hewlett asks ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons if this really is a good deal for an independent ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ or, as some claim, the day the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ became a state broadcaster.
Media commentator Dan Sabbagh looks at how the deal was put together and early signs that parts are already unravelling.
Danny Cohen is the new controller of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½1. Former controller Lorraine Heggessey looks at the challenges he faces. Can viewers expect a taste of his former channels aimed at younger people, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½3 and E4?
And, today, Reporters without Borders releases its annual survey of press freedom around the world. Why, in their view, does the UK still not make the top ten - and where do they stand on the Pentagon's call for journalists to stop reporting leaks from Wikileaks?
