Ofcom’s Media Nations Report: is broadcast media suffering from ‘fragmentation’ or does it really have a deeper cultural problem with more consumers preferring short-form content? Spoiler for Omar’s opinion, which features in his column today.

Rajar: did the BBC score an own goal by letting Ken Bruce walk away with Popmaster?
