James Barford appeared on The Today Programme to talk about consolidation in the mobile market, sports and BT's reported rise in profits.

Claire Enders was quoted in an article about the future of ITV after five years with Adam Crozier at the helm. Claire said “Michael Grade [ITV's previous boss] relishes the theatrics. Adam [Crozier] is the opposite".

Toby Syfret was quoted in an article about fears from broadcasters of falling revenues as viewers switch to on-demand TV, with much of the focus being on the shift from 'linear' TV to on-demand services, such as Netflix and BBC iPlayer, seen among young people. However Toby said "the habits of the parents are changing too", with live TV viewing having fallen 11 per cent among adults aged 35 to 54 since 2010.  

Thomas Caldecott was quoted in an article on The Sun's decision to end forty four years of Page 3 in print, instead making its photos of topless women only available online. This may be seen as an attempt by Murdoch's media empire to improve its image following the hacking scandal. However it also represents a move by The Sun to boost its digital subscription numbers, by adding topless women to its exclusively online mix the tabloid could attract more of its core audience. Thomas said "They clearly think it's going to have some positive effect.

Douglas McCabe was quoted in an article on Waterstones plans to open more stores in light of news that book sales are on the rise, with sales of the Kindle ebook reader falling this Christmas as the physical book market shows signs of improvement. Physical book sales at Waterstones rising 5 per cent in December, as the company reveals plans to open at least a dozen stores in 2015. Douglas McCabe said "The rapid growth of ebook sales has quite dramatically slowed and there is some evidence it has gone into reverse".  

Michael Underhill was quoted in an article about premiership TV rights, with the next auction of live matches for the 2016-17 season expected to take place early next year. Sky, which has long dominated the sports rights market, is facing greater competition. Currently, Sky pays an annual £760m for five packages to broadcast 116 games a season, while BT pays £246m for 38 games. However BT is expected to pose a greater threat to Sky this time around.

James Barford was quoted in an article on Gavin Patterson; the chief executive of BT. James said "He has imposed his own direction after a very strong chief executive [Ian Livingston]. But the sport strategy was inherited and mobile could be his first big decision to make". The acquisition of a mobile business would fit the bill by launching BT's ambitions to re-enter the consumer mobile market. 

Douglas McCabe was quoted in an article discussing the fact that The Sun newspaper has doubled its number of digital subscribers to 225,000, but has failed to offset a decline in its overall paid readership. In August 2013 it introduced a pay wall and 102,000 people started paying in the first four months, however the new figures show that the rate of sign-ups has slowed substantially since. Douglas said the figures were "reasonably positive", while cautiously adding that there was a lack of historical data to judge them on. 

Claire Enders is quoted in an article about Youtube and whether it is rewriting the rules of broadcasting. The rise of so called 'vloggers', such as Zoella, becoming disproportionately important to YouTube - despite only representing a fraction of the overall programming upload to Youtube, with music videos still accounting for more than half the six billion hours of content. With more than 6.5 million subscribers Zoella is a dream advocate for many fashion and beauty brands.

Alice Enders was quoted in an article as YouTube launches a music subscription service, called 'YouTube Music Key'. This will offer advertising free videos, offline viewing and the ability to play music while the phone is locked. At full price it will cost $9.99 a month, with the people who play the most music on YouTube being given a free trail for six months.
