Channel 4 has launched an alternative proposal to privatisation in a move it says could create thousands of jobs outside of London including in Bristol.
The broadcaster, which opened its Bristol creative hub in January 2020, has set out its vision for the future - '4: The Next Episode' - as the Government starts the process of selling off the channel amid heavy criticism from its management and the creative industry.
Channel 4 was set up by former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1982 and is currently publicly owned and funded through advertising.
