Channel 4 set to reduce workforce by a quarter with hundreds to lose their jobs

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleChannel 4 is expected to cut hundreds of jobs, it has been reported (Victoria Jones/PA) (PA Archive)Channel 4 is set to cut between 300 and 325 jobs, representing roughly a quarter of its workforce, in one of the largest redundancy rounds in the broadcaster's 43-year history. The planned job cuts follow the appointment of chief executive Priya Dogra in March, coming just two years after 200 positions were eliminated under former CEO Alex Mahon. London-based roles are expected to bear the brunt of the redundancies as part of a pledge to shift focus and increase staffing in the UK's nations and regions. A spokesperson for Channel 4 confirmed that the broadcaster is conducting a comprehensive review of its structure and strategy, promising to inform staff directly before making public statements. The reductions follow similar cost-cutting measures across the sector, including the BBC's decision to axe 2,000 jobs, which drew sharp criticism from veteran presenter David Dimbleby.
