91Èȱ¬

I'm the 91Èȱ¬'s media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what's going on.

that the 91Èȱ¬ could receive a 23% increase in funds over the next six years, if current trends continue. A DCMS source said talks on the licence fee beyond 2012 would not start till next year. The 91Èȱ¬ said it had a £2bn efficiency drive and was cutting the pay of top executives by 14.5%.

91Èȱ¬ laptops and mobiles apparently worth £241,019 were lost or stolen over the past two years, a freedom of information request has revealed. The computer security firm which made the request said it was "shocking". The 91Èȱ¬ said it took theft very seriously but that theft of portable items was inevitable in all large organisations.

that the 91Èȱ¬ is preparing "significant concessions" over its controversial pension proposals. Unions have begun balloting for strike action.

Clint Eastwood and over 50 other actors are urging the government to reconsider the closure of the UK Film Council. Mr Eastwood has written to the Chancellor George Osborne, . that it's "simply unacceptable" for the quango to pay 8 executives more than £100,000 a year

Friends and Top Gear are the most-repeated shows on digital television. 51 episodes of Friends are shown each week and 44 of Top Gear. Because Top Gear is twice as long, it tops the "hours" chart - 44 hours of repeats a week.

The 91Èȱ¬'s newspaper review says that Fleet Street is having fun with David Cameron's decision to overturn his health minister's proposals to stop free milk for under-fives.
