Independent

Some more on the Kent University research in to 5Live's balance between "News and Current Affairs" and "Sport". The FT tells us that members of the all-party parliamentary media group were invited to a “breakfast briefing” sponsored by News UK to discuss the report. There were  “contributions” from executives at Wireless, the News UK division that operates its radio stations.

Scott Taunton, CEO of Wireless said the research was independent and “was about seeing whether our views were right”, he said. So one presumes they approached Professor Luckhurst with £25,000 towards his costs.

News UK contributes to the costs of providing a secretariat to the all-party parliamentary media group, and helps pay for its annual reception.
