Letter from 768 firms lends support as broadcaster hopes government won’t relish divisive debate on issue
Almost every UK television production company has urged the next prime minister to abandon the sale of Channel 4, arguing ministers should focus on the cost of living crisis rather than the “unpopular” privatisation.
An open letter, signed by 768 independent television and film producers, warns that a sale will damage their businesses, damage levelling up efforts, and cause a distraction for the country at an uncertain economic time.
