Senior executives at Channel 4 have pushed back against a possible privatisation of the broadcaster by the government, warning some programmes could be cancelled if the changes are approved
Ian Katz, the network's head of programming, praised productions such as the drama It's A Sin, daytime show Steph's Packed Lunch, and We Are Lady Parts, a sitcom about a Muslim punk band.
Stronger than expected advertising revenues for shows such as Gogglebox and The Great British Bake Off cushioned the company from the hit taken in the first half of the year, with annual revenues falling by just 5% to £934m.
