In this week’s Media Confidential, Alan and Lionel discuss the changing winds at Ofcom, after its prospective new chair was scrutinised by a select committee. How much was Ian Cheshire briefed beforehand? And will he do anything to tackle GB News?
The pair also talk about Trump's latest attack on the BBC—as well as Fran Unsworth’s departure from the broadcaster, after the Telegraph claims that the former news boss was “driven out by trans activism”.

And they discuss a Panorama investigation into disturbing allegations around Channel 4’s reality TV show Married At First Sight.
