UK Government moves forward to privatise iconic news broadcaster

Published

on

The UK government has announced that it wants to privatise Channel 4.

The network, which broadcasts programmes including Gogglebox and Countdown, could be privatised under a plan to “sell off” the company.

Launched in 1982, Channel 4 is a government-owned TV broadcaster, made up of 12 channels in total, including a streaming service called “All 4.”

Channel 4 to become a private company under new plans by the UK government

Declining traditional TV market

Instead of receiving public funding like the BBC, Channel 4 earns its revenue through advertising.

Downing Street says that because TV advertising revenues are declining, along with traditional TV viewing, Channel 4 is being held back from competing with other TV services.

It says it wants to sell Channel 4 to a private company.

Many media critics have stated a privatisation of the network could risk the quality of content put to air, while some of the network’s own talent – Channel 4 stars Matt Lucas and Kirstie Allsopp are among the figures who have raised concerns about the government’s plan.
