Channel 4 only moved to Leeds last year, but its "bold" plans to make the city its new national headquarters are already in jeopardy.
The government announced last month that Channel 4 will be privatised. It comes just months after the publicly-owned broadcaster moved its national headquarters to Leeds in a move which was described as the biggest shake-up in its 39-year history.
During discussions with ministers, Channel 4 submitted bold and ambitious proposals to place Leeds at the forefront of its growth over the next decade. The scheme, titled '4: The Next Episode', would have seen more jobs created in Yorkshire and an even greater emphasis on working with independent creative industries outside London.
