- On Wednesday, British broadcaster Channel 4 is expected to announce significant job cuts following a strategic review by CEO Priya Dogra, who took over in March.
- Insiders predict "deep" cuts to the 1,276-strong workforce, with as many as 300 jobs at risk of redundancy, according to reports from The Guardian.
- The reduction represents approximately a quarter of the business, marking the largest round of layoffs in Channel 4's 43-year history.
- Dogra is expected to address the cuts during an all-staff meeting on Wednesday, with reports suggesting the reduction will target London-based roles.
