Channel 4 chief says ‘our model puts public service before profit’ ahead of announcement on future
Channel 4 has warned it could be forced to cut its investment in regional television production if the government pushes ahead with “irreversible” plans to privatise the broadcaster.
The culture secretary, Oliver Dowden, is expected to make an announcement on Channel 4’s future on Wednesday, which is likely to involve a consultation on whether it should be sold off.
