Channel 4 to 'Cut Around 300 Jobs' in Biggest Round of Layoffs Ever

The broadcaster may cut up to 300 jobs, about a quarter of its 1,276 staff, after a review of its structure and size.

  • On Wednesday, British broadcaster Channel 4 is expected to announce significant job cuts following a strategic review by CEO Priya Dogra, who took over in March.
  • Insiders predict "deep" cuts to the 1,276-strong workforce, with as many as 300 jobs at risk of redundancy, according to reports from The Guardian.
  • The reduction represents approximately a quarter of the business, marking the largest round of layoffs in Channel 4's 43-year history.
  • Dogra is expected to address the cuts during an all-staff meeting on Wednesday, with reports suggesting the reduction will target London-based roles.
  • These layoffs follow similar redundancies at the BBC, which committed to reducing its workforce by 10%, equating to around 2,000 layoffs.
