In today's programme with Steve Hewlett: After the Olympics, there were calls for those less-prominent events in which Team GB won medals to get wider coverage on tv. Is there really an appetite for this, though, now the excitement has died down? John Fairley of Highflyer TV talks about his plans to run a new tv channel showcasing minority interest sports, London Legacy.How have so-called second screens affected tv viewing habits and what impact does that have on broadcasters? Paul Lee of Deloitte takes Steve through the key findings of his recent research into this, with almost half of younger viewers using their smart phones or laptops while watching tv.Liz Murdoch is due to follow her father Rupert and brother James tomorrow, delivering the MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival. Sarah Ellison of Vanity Fair and Dan Sabbagh of the Guardian discuss her ambitions both inside and outside the family's businesses.And, as the programme learns many UK newspapers have agreed terms to run the Prince Harry photos, will they actually print them? With Dan Sabbagh, lawyer Duncan Lamont examines the options open to editors. The producer is Simon Tillotson.
