Media Talk: Is DAB dead in the water?

John Plunkett's sitting in for Matt Wells for the next fortnight, and he's joined by Maggie Brown and Paul Robinson in the pod.

We start with one of Media Talk's hoariest old chestnuts: digital radio. With commercial operators preparing a spoiler campaign and analogue switch-off pushed back to 2017 at least, we ask, and not for the first time: is DAB dead in the water?

Also in the podcast, Jana Bennett steps down from her role as BBC Vision director to take up a new post at BBC Worldwide; the Daily Telegraph prepares to charge for its online content; and Virgin Media unveils a "game-changing" take on video-on-demand.

Finally, we wonder how American audiences will take to Cheryl Cole after Simon Cowell signs her up to join him on The X Factor USA.

As ever, let us know what you think on the blog below.
