Does Channel 4 have a list of preferred suppliers?

As a publisher/broadcaster, Channel 4 does not produce its own programmes but commissions them from more than 200 independent production companies across the UK every year. Channel 4 does not have a list of preferred or approved production companies. However, you can find a list of independent production companies we have recently worked with here.

If you would like to know more about Channel 4's commissioning process, further information is available on our commissioning website.
