Is Murdoch really plannng a Google free future?

Rupert Murdoch has taken time out to tell Sky News Australia why he might ban his content from Google and why he'd rather have fewer visitors coming to his (paid for) websites (not to mention a quick bash at the thieving BBC). In an interview with...

Why the critics are wrong - the BBC and Glastonbury

This year looked like (one of the many) when people were suffering Glastonbury envy, but while only 140,00 people got to go, the rest of us could soak up some of the BBC's most excellent coverage. It reminded me again that we're lucky to have...

The BBC and Digital Britain failure

Of course, internet access for all is really super. Hurrah. But the failure and misjudgement by Digital Britain on other big questions leave me totally underwhelmed. There's no progress on a Channel 4 and BBC Worldwide deal and the easy option of...

Social media and the Iranian election

On Wired.com, Andrew Exum is wondering all about Iran and the explosive use of social media to organise, agitate and protest in Iran. He's wondering how real it all is? And if it is the technological enabled few rather than the digitally deprived...

Terrrifying BBC trailer watch at your own peril

Have you seen the TV trailer for BBC Radio 4's Science Fiction series? It is a fine piece of scary advertising. The complaints are bound to rack up thick and fast for this cardiac arrest inducing trailer. Other than the Today Programme, I never listen...

Twitter of a weekend

If you had been in any doubt this weekend must have cleared it up. It was kind of amazing. I don't know what happened, but I could not escape Twitter. It was literally everywhere I went: online, in print, on TV and radio. It was like someone flicked...

BBC made right call over Gaza

The BBC has made the right call over its decision not to broadcast the Gaza appeal. This is supported by Sky News doing likewise. The BBC should stick to the decision it has made and not be brow beaten into changing its mind. Gaza is a highly emotive...

Daily Mail and BBC Local conspiracy theory

It isn't like the Daily Mail needs an excuse to bash the BBC, but was there more at play in the recent "Sachsgate" affair than meets the eye? And did it cost the corporation its much vaunted BBC Local web service? It was on Popbitch today...

No one is going to pay for PSB on ITV

Ofcom's proposals published today on public service broadcasting seem largely sensible, but its research claiming that people are willing to pay to see public service TV on a network other than the BBC holds no water. I don't buy it. No one is...

Do not under any circumstances free the Noel Edmonds one

The TV presenter and general figure of derision that is Noel Edmonds should be behind bars. There are many reasons for this most of which relate to crimes committed during his television career. He should have been there long ago and now there is a real...

Walking with the dinosaurs: Time Out magazine

Time Out boss Tony Elliott has joined that growing band of ranters who like to blame the BBC for all of their woes. It is 2008 and Time Out sells less than 80,000 copies and it is struggling to face the digital future. Of course it must be the BBC's...

ECB throws cricket ball out of pram boo hoo

It's rich of the English Cricket Board to have a go at the BBC for failing to put a bid in for domestic and international cricket TV rights when it was asking for huge amounts of cash. The ECB has priced cricket off of terrestrial TV. The ECB only...

"You might not be gay, but your car is"

Last year Jeremy Clarkson was criticised for calling a car "a bit gay". Ofcom didn't like it, but this hasn't stopped Vanity Fair which has launched a gay car blog. On the BBC's 'Top Gear' Clarkson asked a man in the audience...

Crap advertising and the Apprentice

Is most advertising crap? I certainly think so, if you weren't convinced you only needed to have watched last night's 'The Apprentice' on BBC One and witnessed the sheer awfulness of the efforts of rank amateur TV wannabes to know that...
