Ian Katz, Chief Content Officer at Channel 4 comments: “I’m thrilled to see so many Channel 4 programmes collecting trophies this year, across all areas of our output. The channel is unique – both in our remit to challenge the status quo and in our role in supporting brilliant independent producers – and this year’s record haul reflects that distinctiveness. While it has been a challenging year for the broadcasting industry, it’s great to see the hard work and creative brilliance of the people who make our shows recognised by the awards juries.”
Congratulations to all the winners from all of us at Channel 4.
