Channel 4 to Slash Workforce by 28 Percent as Broadcaster Unveils “Long-Term Transformation Strategy”

Channel 4 has unveiled a long-term transformation strategy that involves slashing its workforce by 28 percent. The U.K. public broadcaster plans to axe approximately 340 jobs by the end of the year to protect the network. This significant reduction in headcount has prompted scrutiny from a parliamentary committee, with officials noting that the news will be deeply worrying. The broadcaster confirmed the plan on Wednesday, intending to implement these cuts within the next few months.
