Our pundits share their reactions to the Buzzfeed News shut down.


We unpack the Fox & Dominion settlement and why it matters.


Plus, the first quarter numbers are out for UK streaming subscriptions, we take on Netflix’s ‘cancel backlash’ and why live streaming a show isn’t as simple as it sounds.


AND in this week's deep dive, Shalini Govil-Pai (GM & VP of TV, Google) shares her view on the future of streaming and why Google TV's offering a guide to 800 free channels.


And finally, we cover telly news in the media quiz!
