UK Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan has confirmed that the government has scrapped plans to privatise Channel 4

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said the broadcaster will remain in public ownership"but with greater commercial flexibility, increased investment in skills and jobs across the UK" as well as"new production arrangements to support its long-term sustainability and growth".

The decision to take the broadcaster out of public ownership was announced under the tenure of Ms Donelan's predecessor, Nadine Dorries, who led the move during Boris Johnson's premiership. "This announcement will bring huge opportunities across the UK with Channel 4's commitment to double their skills investment to £10m and double the number of jobs outside of London," she said.
