The @FT is reporting that @Channel4 is to be #privatised. "The UK government is lining Channel 4 up for privatisation by the end of 2022 and will launch a consultation on its future within weeks." from @alexebarker @MattGarrahan
@FT @Channel4 @alexebarker @MattGarrahan @catrionalewis of #NineLivesMedia, told the recent @PSBfuture conference that if @Channel4 were to be privatised, she thought @Channel4News, award-winning investigative current affairs programme #Dispatches+ #Paralympics would be the first items to be dropped.
Public service broadcasters including @Channel4 make over 32,000 hours of UK-made original TV productions a yr, compared to just c230 hours by streamers. Govt stats show UK's creative industries contribute almost £13m to UK economy every hour.
