Channel 4 Takeover - Advanced Television: Pact members call for Channel 4 sell-off rethink

Story from Advanced Television:

Members of Pact, the UK screen sector trade body representing and supporting independent production and distribution companies, have sent an open letter to the Conservative Leadership candidates, calling on them to reconsider the Government’s plans to privatise Channel 4.

The letter to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak has been signed by over 750 Pact members representing indies of all sizes and from all the nations and regions of the UK.

The letter is the latest action in Pact’s on-going campaign to stop the privatisation of Channel 4. Pact is continuing to represent the interests of indies and is trying to ensure that all MPs understand the detrimental impact that privatisation will have on the UK’s independent production sector.
