Channel 4 boss Alex Mahon’s pay jumped by a quarter to £1.5 million last year, while low-paid freelancer bore the brunt of cutbacks at the broadcaster.
Mahon was handed £750,000 in bonuses, for a year where revenue slipped by 2% to £1.14 billion. Channel 4 barely made a surplus, or profit, for the year, as this fell from £101 million to just £3 million.
