Midweek Mediawatch - false gods of sport

From Mediawatch, 9:14 pm on 10 July 2024

Midweek Mediawatch - Mediawatch’s weekly catch-up with Nights. 

Colin Peacock talked to Emile Donovan about  Stuff making a solid start with ThreeNews on TV; the British media making a meal of their landslide election the once-mighty Sunday News coming to an end and local democracy reporting getting a financial reprieve. Also: the unhealthy obsession with the world's most famous footballer - and Emile gives Mediawatch the (remixed) gift of music.
