Row brewing in Scotland over of privatising Channel 4
Channel 4 has spent more than £200m on Scottish commissions since 2007The channel commissioned films made in Scotland including Trainspotting and Trainspotting II.If Channel 4 were sold off, the media regulator Ofcom might be able to agree certain quotas to maintain a certain level of spending in the nations or protect specific areas of programming like news and current affairs.
She said: "One of the shameful things about the TV industry is how middle class it is. A big reason for that is the way people are hired into the industry and the way people are employed in the industry on short-term contracts "So for instance they provide training schemes where they offer new entrants into the industry 12 month placements in companies like ours. They think about how they commission companies like ours so they can help cashflow a small business."The Scottish government thinks Channel 4 is currently in a good position and therefore not in need of change.
The UK government says it wants to ensure C4 has a long term, successful future. It thinks it is appropriate to look at the ownership model to see if C4 might thrive better if it could access investment capital in the same way as other commercial channels.
