The latest RAJAR figures are out - and new local radio regulations kick in... so what does it mean for the big commercial players? Media analyst Adam Bowie tells us what’s happening.

Also on the programme: as TV bigwigs descend on Cannes for Mipcom, why is everyone looking to the past? Deadline’s Jake Kanter puts down his cocktail to tell us more.

All that, plus: Kimberly Godbolt from search network Talented People takes the temperature of UK TV production. Are we any closer to the end of the commissioning drought?

That’s all happening in this edition of The Media Club. Come on in!

A Rethink Audio production, produced by Matt Hill with post-production from Podcast Discovery.
