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.

    Head of Sales & Business Development at Channel 4

    I had the pleasure of speaking at the British Screen Forum 2024 yesterday . Uppermost in much of the discussion was the role of British broadcasters in the streaming world.   I’ve never been more optimistic about the vital role of broadcaster VOD (BVOD) in this age of fragmentation. Its not quite, ‘two pence’ but I’ll keep it short…   1. BVOD is a unique and compelling opportunity for advertisers in sea of global streaming choice. It uniquely offers brands rapid mass market reach around watercooler TV moments. 2. BVOD and British-originated public service broadcasting content stands out. The success of Channel 4 shows such as Merseyside Detectives, MAFS and GBBO underlines what PSBs uniquely offer streamers: content which reflects Britain and impacts the national conversation. 3. At Channel 4 we innovate thru tech but with purpose. We will enrich viewing experiences through data and UI enhancements, but we are equally clear that we need to retain our voice as a trusted curator. Key to us is responsible curation and a trusted tone of voice. 4. Our heritage and reach means we have that sought-after quality: discoverability. For example, social is a big part of our strategy – and it brings more digital natives into our ecosystem. Views are up 300%+ across 2024 year on year for full episodes of our shows on YouTube. 5. We never stand still. We’re busy working on a project to transform Channel 4’s streaming platform through technology that delivers a step-change in the user experience for viewers and advertisers. 6. We’ve always been about partnerships – whether that’s our work with the creative sector or with advertisers. In streaming, our approach is to partner with best-in-class platforms which means viewers can find us wherever they are – thru smart TVs, thru pay TV platforms or mobile. Only last week we announced we are the first UK broadcaster to launch an app on Apple’s new Vision Pro headset. British Screen Forum Richard Broughton Channel 4 Channel 4 Sales

    Viewers can now experience Channel 4 programming like never before as it launches its streaming app on Apple Vision Pro! 🤖 This means that Channel 4 shows will now be viewable in a ground-breaking cinema-style, full-screen viewing experience overlaid onto viewers’ real-life environments, such as living room walls. Shout out to all our teams across Channel 4, plus Avalon and Accenture, for their support on our exciting Taskmaster immersive environment. “The new Channel 4 Apple Vision Pro app builds on our heritage of viewer innovation, be that the first broadcaster in the world to offer a TV-based on-demand service, or, the first PSB to launch an HD channel in the UK. The app also enables us to create even more viewer delight in one of our most-cherished shows, Taskmaster, moving it from the TV to the physical world. As we transition to become a public service streamer, we’re constantly exploring new ways to entertain viewers and engage advertisers through technology which creates remarkable experiences.” - Grace Boswood, Director of Technology & Distribution, Channel 4
