A year of mergers, successions and scandals

It's the final MediaLand, for the year and well, ever!  Vivienne and Tim look back at the big media stories of the year and what they mean for what will be landing on your screens and radios in 2026.  From huge media mergers to who is actually in charge of the big media families now, all the way over to whether commercial radio can't afford three hosts a show any more, we've got you covered.  Guest: Rob Kelly, producer of MediaLand and freelance journalist  You can binge more episodes of the MediaLand podcast with media insiders Tim Burrowes and Vivienne Kelly on the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find interviews with the big media bosses, the journalists on the ground and the hacks who hunt for the big media scoops.  Please email us at Medialand@abc.net.au if you would like to get in touch, we read them all and love hearing from you!
