Google's AI push, YouTube's TV Success and C5/Five/5's Rebrand

Scott Bryan and Faraz Osman join Matt Deegan

Another week, another AI tussle. This time it’s Google’s auto-summarisation of news articles that seem pretty hard to opt out from for publishers. Sister company YouTube’s doing well on the main TV, should broadcasters be scared? Gold Wala’s Faraz Osman fills us in.

Also on the sofa, TV critic Scott Bryan looks at the independent report into TV producer John Balson’s death, the re-brand of Channel 5 plus BAFTA’s top TV moments.

All of that plus the BBC’s push to get the government to fully fund the World Service.
