The government has confirmed Channel 4 no longer faces privatisation
As revealed exclusively by The News Agent's yesterday, Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan wrote to the Prime Minister recommending the Government drops its plans to privatise Channel 4.
"This announcement will bring huge opportunities across the UK with Channel 4's commitment to double their skills investment to £10m and double the number of jobs outside of London."We will work closely with them to add new protections such as increasing the amount of content C4C must commission from independent producers.
"Working with the world-leading TV and film producers of the UK, we continue to give birth to ideas that thrill audiences and change perspectives globally. In an exclusive for The News Agents podcast, the letter by Ms Donelan says she has "concluded that pursuing a sale at this point is not the right decision and there are better ways to secure C4C's sustainability and that of the independent production sector".
