Channel 4
Placing a premium on “innovation and experiment in the form and content” of its programming, Channel 4 has been Britain's most cutting edge, controversial and creative broadcaster of the last two decades.
Channel 4 was established by Act of Parliament in 1982 and came on air in November of that year. It enjoys unique status as the world's only major public service broadcaster funded entirely by its own commercial activities, including advertising-funded digital TV channels E4, More4 and Film4.
Channel 4 commissions all its programmes from third parties and has played the leading role in helping nurture and grow a vibrant community of independent producers in the UK.
