Today while addressing the National and Regions Media Conference in Salford, the Culture Secretary spoke about Channel 4 and announced that “the Government will not give further consideration to privatisation at this time.”
She said: “We want Channel 4 to have a major presence outside London, stimulating creative and economic activity – including jobs – right across the country. In so doing, it can play a leading role in a public service broadcasting system that reflects our United Kingdom.”

Mr Kirby said: “The Culture Secretary has said she wants to hear about potential new homes for Channel 4. I believe that Brighton would be an ideal place for Channel 4 to relocate to. I have suggested this to the Culture Secretary and hope that she considers Brighton when deciding where to relocate this world-class organisation.”
