🚨Revealed: 'Astonishing lack of regard' for Channel 5 and its viewers by Government.

I've since discovered via a Freedom of Information request that DCMS Ministers haven't even discussed it. There have been no meetings about it internally, with Ofcom, or with C5 - despite the deal being announced five months ago. Read the full report - and the take of a former DCMS Secretary of State - in ScreenPower below.
