they're shifting across to times radio and so theyjoin quite a list — jon sopel, emily maitlis, andrew marrof whom have departed the bbc�*s tv and radio output. so let's understand how these deals happen, and the calculations that are involved. we're joined by sue ayton, who's fi and jane's agent — also co—founder of knight ayton management, which represents a whole raft of the biggest names in broadcasting. and we're joined by megan carver — founder and managing director of carver pr, which does publicity for some of the biggest names in broadcasting. megan and sue, thanks for being with us on the media show. sue, i've got to start with you. tell us how it happened. well, we did this because it was a return to live broadcasting, which is their roots, their first love, and they were really being under—used at the bbc, even though they had this huge podcast, which, as we know, has downloaded millions over the last few years. they had a yearn to get back to broadcast. and times radio very cleverly identified them as this magical duo who needed to be back broadcasting daily. and that's really

by previous political editor andrew marr.t was james landale who said be careful of the superlatives. a wise fellow! but to put this delicately, your heritage as a political reporter is greater than ours because you have been around for longer, so, can you put this period into some sort of context? it has been unprecedented, hasn't it? it is very like my early days reporting on robert walpole�*s first administration. no, i am going to think of this... what was it like when america voted for independence?! it was extraordinary! no, i am going to think of this for ever as the autumn of the three prime ministers, when they were falling like autumn leaves. and i am going to think of liz truss as of somehow our version of the winter queen, who was elizabeth of bohemia, way back, much mocked because of the short period that she was in there, and now liz truss is out, i keep thinking, what is it like being liz truss? she is on holiday at the moment, i saw kwasi kwarteng for the first time in the house of commons just now, he wasn't

we'll ask laura herself what it's like stepping into the shoes of andrew marr and sir david frost anduch. first, though, if politics took something of a back seat for the days following the death of queen elizabeth this week, it's been back with a vengeance. the announcements for the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, last friday, what's been called his mini budget, unleashed a torrent of reaction from the financial markets and institutions. most of it was negative. tonight at 10, the bank of england is forced to intervene to try to bring stability to the financial markets. emergency help was needed, especially to protect pension funds. but amid the turmoil, the government is still refusing to change its plans. what about the reporting of the story? did the media and bbc news in particular present too apocalyptic a picture of the economic fallout? this caller to the newswatch line thought so. hello. my name is anthony waites. i just wonder why the bbc doesn't talk about some of the plus sides of this budget and the falling of the pound. it's going to be very cheap for americans to come here

the late sir david frost was host for 12 years, andrew marr for 16.nd at the start of september, laura kuenssberg inherited the mantle. it's one of the most high—profilejobs in television news. and like her predecessors, she's hooked some important guests. hello, and a very warm welcome to a new show and a new political era. tomorrow, one of these two will be chosen as our new prime minister. thank you so much for coming in. and whatever happens, do come back. applause well, i was going to say going for some reaction from our panel, because listening to that interview at the desk and seeming to applaud joe lycett, the comedian. i love it! this morning, we'll bejoined by two prime ministers — new zealand's jacinda ardern and by the prime minister of bangladesh, sheikh hasina. the key issue at the moment is who is going to pay for this. the key issue for many people listening to you this morning, i think might be that the government's promise to freeze my bills for two years. the labour leader is promising to free them for six months and then, after tha

you know, once upon a time, the metric of a decent story was what whether it was discussed on the andrew marrlike we�*re doing things that are important, but occasionally we�*ll dedicate a lot of column space or pixel space to a piece. and it transpires the readers don�*t necessarily care as much as we�*d like them do. so dti... sounds a bit like a completion rate on a video. same thing, i guess. absolutely. it�*s that same that kind of data driven approach. well, thanks for coming in. can you tell us what�*s coming next? i think our lawyers at times newspapers ltd would be very angry at me if i said anything now. but stay tuned. nice to see you. thanks for coming in. thank you. appreciate it. now to finish off today�*s edition of the media show, we�*re going to turn to one of the big stories of the week, because on saturday, we heard that jane garvey and fi glover were leaving the bbc for times radio. now, for almost all of you listening, you don�*t need me to tell you who fi and jane are in different ways. they�*ve been giants of five live and then radio four no more though they�*re shiftin

we'll ask laura herself what it's like stepping into the shoes of andrew marr and sir david frost ands editor for praise. the other big story of the week was hurricane ian, which hit the united states, causing widespread destruction, as well as loss of life. there's been plenty of coverage on bbc news of its impact in the united states, including reports on the national bulletins. rather less, though, of the damage and deaths it had caused in cuba, where it struck earlier. liesbeth heit wrote on wednesday that this lacked balance. now, it's hard to remember a time when sunday morning television didn't feature a live political interview programme. come the new year, there'll have been one on bbc one for 30 years. the late sir david frost was host for 12 years, andrew marr for 16, and at the start of september, laura kuenssberg inherited the mantle. it's one of the most high—profile jobs in television news and like her predecessors, she's hooked some important guests. hello, and a very warm welcome to a new show and a new political era. tomorrow, one of these two will be chosen as our n
