Keep Channel 4 in public ownership
Rejected

What the petition asks
Reverse the decision to sell off Channel 4.
Keep Channel 4 in public hands. This TV channel is already fully funded by advertising. This planned sell off is not viable politically, morally, financially or artistically. It wasn't even in the governing party's last election manifesto, so there is no voter mandate for such a damaging move.
