Rupert Rebuffed

Available for over a year

Paddy Hirsch from our US sister programme Marketplace discusses Rupert Murdoch's $80-billion offer for Time Warner and what it would mean for America's media landscape if the deal does eventually go ahead. In our Singapore bureau, Sunita Kaur, Managing Director of Spotify Asia, discusses the future of streaming and looks ahead to a world in which the physical - the CD, the vinyl, the book, the newspaper - becomes a thing of the past. Author and poet Marko Sijan joins us from Montreal, to talk about Amazon's proposed new subscription model for Kindle, and Cindy Sui in Taipei explains why there's such a furore over whether a tiny Taiwanese island should get a convenience store.
