, confirmed yesterday that he will not reverse the decision made by Johnson and firebrand Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries, claiming in line with the government’s prior view that privatization “will help Channel 4 to thrive in an age where they are also competing with Netflix, Amazon, Apple and many more.”
Responding in the past few minutes, Philippa. Childs, head of the UK’s biggest TV union Bectu, said the former Chancellor’s comments show he “does not understand why the Channel 4 model is so successful and why there is such unified and vehement industry opposition to the sale.” As Chancellor, Sunak will have signed off on the decision to sell Channel 4, which he has said could raise around £1B and started making its way through parliament in May.
