91Èȱ¬

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

Ahead of his return to our screens in the Apprentice tonight the Conservatives should stop threatening to cut the licence fee.

"People have got a £30-a-month mobile phone bill, a £50-a-month Sky bill, £20-a-month internet, and you are paying £14-a-month for the 91Èȱ¬. It's incredible value."

The 91Èȱ¬ reports sales of British television programmes to the international market rose by 9% last year to £1.3bn, according to the annual survey from PACT, published to coincide with MIPCOM trade show in Cannes.

The sales of British television programmes to the international market have hit an all-time high, despite the recession.

The 91Èȱ¬'s newspaper review shows the papers are keeping up the pressure on the Conservative leadership over the impact of their child benefit proposals. The Financial Times says it has muddled the message that the cuts will include harsh measures for high earners too. The Guardian says Prime Minister David Cameron was forced to apologise to voters.
