I couldn't care less that Michael Grade has moved! It may be big news within the BBC and ITV media bubbles, but for the man on the street, will it change anything?

It certainly does not merit leading the UK news this morning.

MR. M. Grade has moved, unfortunately I am not. How will his inside knowledge be used against the BBC in a ratings war? If this were to occur how much of the BBC's money (or our's) would then, in effect, be wasted? Isn't there some clause in other companies' contracts that stops you working for the opposition within a specified period to prevent just such a potential situation?

Could you describe the name of the link rather then just saying 'link'.

It's absolutely rubbish for screen readers (and really poor practice) and when on a day like today you don't know which paper it's referring to it is very confusing.
