ARN Media, owners of Gold and KIIS radio networks, made headlines this week when chair Hamish McLennan teased interest in buying Nine's talk stations 2GB and 3AW. At least that would be the plan, if it weren't for laws that prevent more "than two radio licences in the same licence area". 

Tim and Viv talk to Hamish about consolidation in radio, Kyle & Jackie O's troubled national expansion, and the competition of global streaming platforms.

Plus, a look at NRL broadcast rights and the fight for sport to stay on free-to-air TV, and how the media handled Grace Tame's anti-Murdoch t-shirt.
