Do you know a source which confirms Channel 4 funding? The evidence I've unearthed so far is, that it does not enjoy fees from the TV licensing fund.

There have been suggestions that it should enjoy a share and of course the argument is that all channels should receive a share. But as yet I have seen no evidence of supposed transference of a portion of the TV license fees.
