It’s time for everyone to wake up and realise how potentially malevolent this government’s plans for the BBC will be in their effect, writes Raymond Snoddy.

That the Government, this time without any Lib-Dem brake to apply, should impose such a deal for the second time in five years behind closed doors is nothing short of gobsmacking, writes Raymond Snoddy.

The closure of BBC Three as a broadcast channel sets a dangerous precedent as the BBC Trust will soon find out…if it survives long enough, writes Raymond Snoddy.

From the launch of Truffle Pig to Vice’s tie-up with Unilever, we’re seeing new levels of innovation in the media, writes Raymond Snoddy.

As the Daily Mail publishes a hugely misleading attack, Raymond Snoddy argues that the public mood is being manipulated to make it hostile to the BBC in advance of vital talks with Government.

As talk surfaces of selling off the not-for-profit broadcaster, it would be wise for the channel to go on a war footing to protect its status against any possibility of political vandalism.

Could it be that the current Britain’s Got Talent hullabaloo is a metaphor for the more serious problems facing ITV, asks Raymond Snoddy.

We should be very wary of the home office’s plans to give Ofcom the power to vet programmes before they are broadcast, warns Raymond Snoddy.

The Daily Telegraph ended up in hot water over its lack of coverage of the HSBC tax scandal, now Global Radio stands accused. Ofcom says the group has done nothing wrong, but should we be worried?

The appointment of John Whittingdale as Culture Secretary has been widely reported as an attack on the BBC. Let’s not be so hasty, writes Raymond Snoddy.
