Channel 4 lays out 'levelling up' alternative to Tory privatisation plan

Channel 4 said it was open to change and was not trying to 'protect some sort of status quo or anachronistic institution'

CHANNEL 4 has laid out its alternative plan to privatisation after the Tory government announced its intention to take the broadcaster out of public ownership.

Its proposals echo the Conservative rhetoric of “levelling up”, saying the channel could become more “northern-based” with the majority of the workforce outside of London.
