Charles Gurassa writes to Oliver Dowden to air concern over lack of transparency behind decision
The chairman of Channel 4 has lambasted the government’s plans to privatise the broadcaster, accusing the culture secretary of failing to provide any evidence to support a move that would have a “very harmful” impact on audiences and jobs.
In a letter to Oliver Dowden seen by the Guardian, Charles Gurassa strongly criticised a consultation launched this month that claimed Channel 4 would be financially stronger under private ownership.
