Channel 4 Commissioning

Channel 4 Online is responsible for the Channel's online and devices activity including Channel4.com, the 4Life portfolio (4Homes, 4Food and 4Beauty), E4.com, Film4.com and 4oD.

The team is headed by Richard Davidson-Houston and includes multiplatform commissions such as The Million Pound Drop’s playalong game, the Embarrassing Bodies website and the recently appointed creative formats editor for converged devices such as YouView.

The team includes Multiplatform Commissioning, Production and Product management. There are six multiplatform commissioning editors (MPCE) editorially answerable to the main genre teams. Each MPCE will have an overview of what we are doing online for all titles in their respective genre, although only a small number of titles (less than 10%) will get a full multiplatform commission. The Production team includes listings editors, copy writers and community managers who create programme support information for 90% of titles on channel4.com, the 4Life portfolio, e4.com and film4.com. They also manage profiles on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The Product Management team are responsible for the quality, user experience and performance of our product portfolio: Channel4.com, the 4Life portfolio, E4.com, Film4.com and 4oD.
