Channel 4 is to cut 340 jobs by the end of the year as part of a major organisational shake-up following a review of the broadcaster’s operations.
The review was conducted against what the network described as a “rapidly changing media landscape”. The planned workforce reduction forms part of Channel 4’s response to those changing conditions.
The available details do not specify which teams or roles will be affected, or how the cuts will be implemented. The broadcaster has also not provided further information on the timetable beyond confirming that the reductions are expected to take place by the end of the year.
The job cuts mark the latest stage of the review and represent a significant change for the organisation. Further details about the restructuring and its impact are expected as Channel 4 sets out its plans.
