An interesting exchange on Twitter about a strange subsidiary of Thames from its post-franchise days

If you thought that the BBC Trust would object to the BBC's planned £15m local radio cutbacks under the "Delivering Quality First" proposal, then you guessed correctly, though it doesn't take Nostradamus to realise that the BBC Trust has to...

Well recently the BBC released some figures and they showed that 3,172 people from Salford applied for jobs with the BBC at MediaCity and just 24 people were successful. Local MP Hazel Blears is demanding an enquiry and calling the figure "incredibly disappointing". Well sorry Hazel, but what did you expect?

A list of some of those we have loved and lost in 2011.

Some people may be alarmed that the BBC has decided to make the Frozen Planet's climate change episode ("On Thin Ice") optional when it comes to overseas sales, but the reality is that many commercial broadcasters are often very conservative...

The BBC's Delivering Quality First initiative has certainly caused a few headlines for its treatment of local radio, however much less discussed has been its impact on the BBC's regional TV output. However its changes there have been no less controversial.

After what seemed like an eternity, the BBC's lengthy "Delivering Quality First" consultation has more or less drawn to a close and the final verdict has been delivered pending Trust approval. Unsurprisingly many of the rumours turned out to be...

One dictionary defines the word synergy as "the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects", which in theory sounds impressive on paper...

From the "Boris Johnson is clearly an expert on making television - better at it than even the BBC" file comes this rather farcical story....

It's been the way it has been for so long that we just accept it. However I can't be the only one who finds the fact that at 6pm ITV1 shows the national news after the regional news?

The Socialist paradise (ahem) of North Korea's NCTV starts the day with a march. Literally a march.

Tyne Tees? HTV? Who has the most boring ident of them all?

Much has been said this week about proposed cutbacks that may (or may not) affect BBC Four, the 'highbrow' digital TV channel that has a relatively small but fiercely loyal core audience. But would the bulk of BBC Four's content...

Can you believe it but ten years ago BBC News 24 rebranded and went all beige? Okay, so it's rebranded several times since and now isn't even called BBC News 24 but lets not let that stop us celebrating with...

When there's a major event taking place, it's natural that television viewers will want to seek out the most comprehensive coverage that's currently available, therefore Sangat TV's coverage of last night's riots in the Birmingham area attracted a great deal...

The BBC's popular and occasionally controversial Top Gear programme has been back in the news again for apparently upsetting car company Nissan; this is on top of another dispute over how one of Tesla's electric cars was allegedly treated in...

We don't normally bother with such trivialities as television programmes on Transdiffusion. I mean, they're not the most important thing on the goggle box now are they?! However every now and then we spot an excellent programme that's well worth mentioning.

Aside from those wanting Rupert Murdoch's influence to be curtailed, the News Corporation phone hacking saga so far hasn't been bad news for BSkyB either, despite the fact that it's likely to have had a not insignificant part to play...

When researching for Transdiffusion features, I often come across titbits of information that don't fit anywhere. Here's one of them in an experimental video format.

Never has a week seemed like such a long time in news. Go back a month and if anyone had said that the News of the World would soon be no more and that News International would be fighting for its reputation and survival, you'd think they were mad and would be preparing to get the doctors with the straight jackets.
