Channel 4 has put counter-proposals to the government which would involve being able to seek private investment while remaining a public sector channel. I hadn't appreciated that they had done this, but perhaps this will change the government's mind about privatising it.

In February Channel 4 put forward its own counter-proposals to government, which would see it seeking private investment while remaining in public ownership. A leaked copy of the document shows the broadcaster’s bosses want to have a commitment to regional output built into its legal mandate, with a pledge to move 300 more jobs out of the capital, rapidly expand the Leeds office, and reduce office space in London.
