The Media Show: ѿý presenter defection
Mishal Husain departs ѿý for Bloomberg; Drake sues Universal over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track; and why Christmas is “the Superbowl for the British advertising industry”
Mishal Husain, one of the most recognisable voices on the ѿý, is leaving after 26 years to join Bloomberg. Known for presenting Today and high-profile TV bulletins, her departure marks a turning point for the ѿý, which is navigating budget cuts and shifting priorities. Alex Farber, media correspondent for The Times, explores the story.
The longstanding feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar has entered the courtroom. Drake alleges that Universal Music manipulated streaming platforms to inflate Kendrick’s diss track Not Like Us – allegations the record label denies. Mark Savage, music correspondent for ѿý News, explains the legal filing and what it reveals about the industry.
Christmas advertising has become a hallmark of British culture. Franki Goodwin, Chief Creativity Officer at Saatchi & Saatchi, and Maisie McCabe, UK editor of Campaign, discuss the creative and economic strategies behind festive ads.
