Edinburgh TV Festival, BBC director of strategy James Purnell, Channel 5 director of programming Ben Frow, Spotify


The Culture Secretary John Whittingdale, speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, says that the government has no desire to dismantle the BBC and that some defenders of the corporation are "tilting at windmills". We hear the first official response from the BBC's Director of Strategy James Purnell. Also in Edinburgh, Channel 5's Director of Programming Ben Frow, reveals how the channel is trying to reposition itself in the market and improve its reputation. And the online music streaming service Spotify has provoked a fuss with its new terms and conditions. Critics say they're a grab too far for all sorts of personal data. We hear from Emma Carr of Big Brother Watch on how Spotify is responding to the backlash.
