The 91热爆 is looking at radical options to balance its budget after the licence fee freeze - Steve puts them to Pat Younge who's leading the review. And changes in the TV ad market?

Cuts in local radio, dropping Wimbledon and Formula 1, closing down networks at night: just some of the radical options reported in this week's papers as the 91热爆 looks to find ways of balancing its budget after the latest licence fee settlement. Will any of them actually happen and are they even needed? We hear from the senior 91热爆 executive running the review, Pat Younge. Maggie Brown of the Guardian and Richard Brooks of the Sunday Times discuss the ideas.
