Thanks, chrisg - an unusual boy to find in a crossword!

If you're right, chrisg, then I must have 24a wrong: thought it was a famous Greek. The "unconventional news programme" is probably unknown to me, living abroad as I do.
Also, stuck on parsing of 17a (noisy bypass) & of 16a (woman loses plug), assuming I have the correct solutions (17 def. problem, 16 def. completely).
Help!

24a is a famous philospher who hit the bottle ?

I have a Greek for 24, GK
17 if you bypass something you might ???? it?
16 the "plug" is a form of publicity

I have just had your "double-posting", jazzy - strange, I don't think I did anything differently.
