Welcome to the Channel Four Television Corporation Report and Financial Statements 2011.
For the second year the Report includes the Statement of Media Content Policy (SMCP), which sets out our performance against our remit and provides an overview of our content strategy for 2012. The SMCP is formed of all pages from Investing in Creativity to Looking Forward. Our Financial Reports and Statements are included as downloadable PDFs, as is a full PDF of the entire Report.
Remit
Channel 4 is required under the Digital Economy Act 2010 to publish a Statement of Media Content Policy (SMCP), outlining how it has delivered against its remit (as it is set in the Communications Act 2003 and the Digital Economy Act) in the preceding year as well as its plans for the year ahead.
This SMCP is structured around the key genres through which Channel 4 delivers its remit, as well as several ‘overview’ sections that give an over-arching look at Channel 4’s creative investment and audience impact. Throughout the SMCP report, a series of ‘icons’ sit alongside the case studies and public value measures to highlight the parts of the remit that are being addressed. It also includes reference to the objectives outlined for each genre in the 2010/11 report, to assess how Channel 4 has delivered against those objectives.
A description of the remit, as well as the process for selecting the public value measures, can be found in the methodology document that accompanies this report – available in the downloads section.
