Channel 4 has been making headlines recently due to its decision to cut 200 jobs, close its London headquarters, and shift its focus towards digital services. This move comes as part of the broadcaster's efforts to adapt to the changing media landscape dominated by streaming services and declining traditional TV advertising revenue. Additionally, the government's appointment of four white non-executive directors to the Channel 4 board has sparked criticism for not reflecting the broadcaster's wider level of ethnic diversity.
