🎾🎾🎾Tear up your plans for tonight…C4 has partnered with Amazon Prime to air live coverage of Emma Raducanu’s US Open final from 8pm. After bringing Test cricket back to free TV earlier this year we’re thrilled to be enabling our viewers to share another great national moment

For the record, C4 revenue last year was its highest ever & this year it will spend more on content than ever. Some, including
@NadineDorries
, have cited a fall in spend in 2020, but this reflects impact of Covid which hit both production + revenue for all commercial broadcasters
2 ‘C4 should be preserved as it is’ - with decreasing advertising revenue and decreasing investment in new content, that is not possible.
‘at least to let it change as it wants, not as the Gov dictates’ - The Government own C4. This fact appears to be lost in the outrage.
