Channel 4 Ownership Review

The government is reviewing Channel 4's ownership and regulatory status, with proposals for privatisation and potential relocation under the Channel 4 (Privatisation) Bill and Channel 4 (Relocation) Bill. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport is leading this review, which involves updates to TV and video-on-demand service regulation and consultation on local TV licensing arrangements. The issue remains active with ongoing parliamentary scrutiny and stakeholder engagement.
