Historical crimes and ‘provocative’ series form part of bid to attract younger viewers
Channel 4 will air footage not seen before and “significant evidence” about the death of Stuart Lubbock at Michael Barrymore’s house and the murder of Peter Falconio in Australia as the broadcaster unveiled a series of shows for 2020 intended to ensure the broadcaster is youthful and provocative.
Ian Katz, director of programmes, said the broadcaster’s “centre of gravity” and complexion of its programming is changing after it successfully argued against the government’s attempts to make it relocate its entire operation out of
London, instead opening a new national headquarters in Leeds and offices in Bristol and Glasgow.
