The government has consulted on the best ownership model to support Channel 4 as part of our review of the public service broadcasting ecosystem.

The public consultation ran for 10 weeks before closing on 14 September. We received around 60,000 responses.

We are analysing every response to make sure we come to an informed decision on whether a change of ownership is the best way to secure Channel 4’s future.
