heard channel 4 is going bust and may be nationalised to bbc..... more state controlled media.so um surely there is enough people of our type/persuasion to actually consider forming a company and um having a little go.
take chanel four right back to its alternative roots dont ya think. for the people by the people and financed by advertiseing paid only by
companies worthy of endorsement.davids become rather big lateley innit

"Channel 4 could be merged with the profitable BBC Worldwide to prevent it going bankrupt.

The deal being discussed by regulators and ministers would see the creation of “4 Worldwide” and represent the biggest transfer of intellectual property, including Radio Times and its lucrative BBC DVDs, away from the corporation. It would, however, generate the £100 million a year that Ofcom, the broadcast regulator, says that Channel 4 needs to survive".

Channel 4 was great for alternative stuff at one time.Pre-Hollyoaks and Big Brother.
