DCMS wanted report to suggest broadcaster did not have sustainable financial future, claims Alex Mahon
The government tried to intervene to alter the wording of Channel 4’s annual report to say that it did not have a sustainable financial future, according to the broadcaster’s chief executive.
The government is seeking to privatise Channel 4, claiming it will struggle to survive in a media landscape increasingly dominated by big streaming companies such as Netflix, and has an overreliance on declining TV advertising to support its business model.
