Liz Tucker Joins Not4Sale Campaign - 20 July 2021

Six major trade bodies have joined Broadcast’s Not 4 Sale campaign against the privatisation of Channel 4, as the number of indies on board approaches.

Bectu, Directors UK, the NUJ, Welsh indies trade body TAC, Women in Film & TV and the Writer’s Guild of Great Britain have added their names to the pledge, which argues that a sale of the broadcaster into private hands would not benefit audiences or the creative sector.

The signatures from Phillipa Childs (Bectu), Andy Harrower (DUK), Michelle Stanistreet (NUJ), Luned Whelan (TAC), Liz Tucker (WFTV) and Ellie Peers (WGGB) join those of the bosses of almost 140 production companies from an array of super-indie groups and true indies, spread across the UK and representing a wide range of genres.
