Channel 4 is a publicly-owned and commercially-funded UK public service broadcaster.
About us
Channel 4 is a unique and distinctive part of the UK. Publicly owned but entirely commercial and self-sufficient, our public-service remit mandates us to take risks and offer alternative programming, commissioning all of our programmes externally. We’re home to the UK’s biggest free streaming service, and a network of 12 television channels. We have the youngest-skewing PSB channel in the UK – and we reach more 16-34-year-olds than any other commercial broadcaster across TV and streaming. Through Film4, we back creative excellence and invest in British filmmakers, to huge critical acclaim – Film4 films have produced 138 Oscar nominations and 35 wins in our 38-year history. We bring to life new creative ideas and, in the process, create thousands of jobs and support hundreds of independent production companies across the UK. Channel 4 is built on strong foundations. Since we were created in 1982, we have been at the centre of national conversations and have been instrumental in creating a truly world-beating production sector. Channel 4's new Future4 strategy builds upon our strong track record of digital innovation and will accelerate Channel 4’s pivot to digital by driving both online viewing and new revenues. It’s an ambitious and comprehensive plan to transform Channel 4 into a digital PSB that retains its distinctive brand and public service impact. Channel 4 will never request bank details from job applicants in connection with a job offer. Any official job offers will only be made through Channel Four Television Corporation directly, and not through any subsidiaries. Please remain cautious and report any suspicious communications claiming to represent Channel 4.

We're excited to announce that today Which? is partnering with Channel 4 and launching an innovative, contextual advertising campaign that helps viewers to buy with confidence. Kat Chinnock, Which? Head of Brand and Communication Planning, said 'It’s a challenging time for a lot of people, with constant pressure to spend, spend, spend. Yet we’re getting ripped off left, right and centre - from shrinking groceries to Christmas gifts not turning up as advertised, and hidden fees taking the shine off holidays. We are delighted to be working with Channel 4 to expose these poor practices and remind viewers that we’re here to help them avoid the pitfalls and make the right choice, while our team continues to investigate and lobby for change behind the scenes' #GetItRight #ConsumerRights

How did a social app help Last Leg presenter Adam Hill run the 100m as fast as Jamie Peacock?! This was one question Joe H., Distribution & Partnerships Senior Lead at Channel 4, answered at C21Media's Content London. During his panel he discussed how platforms like Snap are empowering publishers and content creators to build fan-first experiences and what he expects the future of sports content to be, alongside Kahlen Macaulay and Ellie Hooper. The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games – which had 41 million views across digital platforms – is a perfect example of how we reach a wide range of fans and encourage connection on a deeper level. This is demonstrated perfectly by Adam Hill in the below clip as he tries out the AR generated content on Snap. This lens was used over 5 million times during the games and achieved a share rate three times the norm of snap lenses. This is just one example of how we look to continually innovate and adapt formats on our existing programming, but also how we bring new bespoke content to every platform for viewers to enjoy wherever they’re watching as part of our wider Fast Forward strategy.
