This is a public broadcast apology direct from Channel 4

Category: News Release

It has come to the world’s attention that diversity, equity and inclusion may have gone far, far too far.

But Channel 4 exists to create change – challenging with purpose, representing unheard voices, and reinventing entertainment.

It’s in our public service remit and it’s in our DNA. 

Why? Because Channel 4 is Altogether Different. 

For this, we can only say – sorry, not sorry. 😜

​Fronted by newsreader and journalist Phil Gayle, featuring a range of well-known talent and programming, CMO Katie Jackson commissioned Channel 4’s award-winning in-house agency, 4creative, to bring the Altogether Different spirit of Channel 4 to life in the wake of the ongoing global rollbacks in the DEI space: “This is your PSA that Channel 4 is doing what it’s always done. We’re not perfect, but we are Altogether Different. Sorry. Not sorry.” 

David Wigglesworth, ECD, 4creative said: “If you think we’ve gone too far - buckle up.’

Launching across Channel 4’s social channels from Friday 13th June, and on Channel 4’s main channel before the network premiere of M3gan on Saturday 14th June, you can watch the new brand spot here.
