   CHANNEL FOUR STATEMENT OF PROMISES 2004/5
The Independent Sector

Channel 4 will continue to be the Channel that contributes the most to the diversity of the independent production sector. We will work with a greater range of companies than any other broadcaster, encouraging new companies in all programme genres. Channel 4 will make a major contribution to sector development in the regions through investment and attracting other regional funding. We will encourage new companies and new talent through ringfenced slots such as Comedy Lab, The Slot and Alt TV.

Channel 4 will initiate and support training and mentoring schemes for production companies, offering both business and editorial advice. Channel 4 is also committed to improving diversity within the independent sector with our multicultural researcher schemes and initiatives to increase the employment of disabled production staff.
