THE publicly-owned broadcaster Channel 4 will not be sold to private interests, the UK Government has confirmed – but there have been concerns raised about the Tories’ proposed “reforms”.
After dismissing reports of the U-turn on plans to sell Channel 4 as “speculation” on Wednesday, Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan confirmed on Thursday they were in fact true.
“After carefully reviewing the business case for selling Channel 4, and after listening to what stakeholders have had to say throughout this entire process, I have decided that we will not sell Channel 4,” she wrote on the news site Broadcast.
