Ian Katz, Chief Content Officer at Channel 4 comments:“I’m thrilled to see so many Channel 4 programmes collecting trophies this year, across all areas of our output. The channel is unique – both in our remit to challenge the status quo and in our role in supporting brilliant independent producers – and this year’s record haul reflects that distinctiveness. While it has been a challenging year for the broadcasting industry, it’s great to see the hard work and creative brilliance of the people who make our shows recognised by the awards juries.”
