Broadcaster insists it has bounced back after revenue collapse in spring lockdown
Channel 4 has said its finances are strong enough to survive as an independent entity, despite threats from Conservative ministers that it could be sold off.
The culture minister John Whittingdale hinted earlier this month that the state-owned commercially funded broadcaster could be a potential candidate for privatisation, given the financial pressures faced by traditional media outlets. It has also faced criticism from the government for the content of some of its news output.
