Restore Channel4 HD to Freesat, as part of their Public Service Broadcast remit.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Today Channel4 HD ceased to be available through Freesat, and I wish to see it restored as part of their Public Service Broadcasting requirement, under the 1982 Charter.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is an operational decision taken by Channel 4. You can find out more here:
