We’re still buzzing from last week when we hosted our Paris 2024 Paralympics press launch. Over 300 guests attended our most accessible Channel 4 event ever, as we announced our presenting line-up, epic broadcast plans, and our ground breaking Channel 4 Paralympics marketing campaign. Want to know what to expect this summer? Find all you need to know here: https://lnkd.in/eiN8qzPc The launch event - featuring British Sign Language signed by a deaf interpreter, audio description, and live captions - was hosted by the one and only Adam Hills. It included a keynote from Alex Mahon, a Q&A with our presenters, and ended with the premiere of our much-anticipated marketing trail. From Channel 4 talent and showbiz names to sports personalities, journalists, and advocates, attendees enjoyed a Parisian-themed evening with French food, caricaturists, a wheelchair time trial activation, and countless photo opportunities. The launch generated a high volume of press coverage and social media engagements to kick off an exciting summer ahead as we look forward to broadcasting 1,300 hours of live sport across Channel 4, More4, and streaming.

Channel 4 is a publicly-owned and commercially-funded UK public service broadcaster.
About us
Channel 4 is a unique and distinctive part of the UK. Publicly owned but entirely commercial and self-sufficient, our public-service remit mandates us to take risks and offer alternative programming, commissioning all of our programmes externally. We’re home to the UK’s biggest free streaming service, and a network of 12 television channels. We have the youngest-skewing PSB channel in the UK – and we reach more 16-34-year-olds than any other commercial broadcaster across TV and streaming. Through Film4, we back creative excellence and invest in British filmmakers, to huge critical acclaim – Film4 films have produced 138 Oscar nominations and 35 wins in our 38-year history. We bring to life new creative ideas and, in the process, create thousands of jobs and support hundreds of independent production companies across the UK. Channel 4 is built on strong foundations. Since we were created in 1982, we have been at the centre of national conversations and have been instrumental in creating a truly world-beating production sector. Channel 4's new Future4 strategy builds upon our strong track record of digital innovation and will accelerate Channel 4’s pivot to digital by driving both online viewing and new revenues. It’s an ambitious and comprehensive plan to transform Channel 4 into a digital PSB that retains its distinctive brand and public service impact.

Were you one of the 1.9 million viewers who watched our coverage of #Paris2024Paralympics Opening Ceremony last night? The audience averaged an impressive 1.4 million (11.7% of audience share) for more than four hours’ coverage from 6.30pm to 10.45pm. There was also a huge spike in traffic interest to the incredible Every Body Moves website with a massive 555% increase yesterday after a QR code appeared on screens during the evening. The site – run by ParalympicsGB - had more than 4,000 users looking to find out more about their local teams, as the ParalympicsGB team arrived at the Place de la Concorde. Support for Every Body Moves will continue throughout the Games by showing the QR code and inviting people with disabilities to get involved in grass roots sports.

We can’t help falling in love with Channel 4 Ventures' latest media for equity deal… Our consumer investment arm, Channel 4 Ventures, has paired up with immersive entertainment specialists Layered Reality for a deal worth around £1.7million. The deal is the next step in the company’s rapid growth, having secured the global rights to create an immersive experience called “Elvis Evolution” based on Elvis Presley’s life from Authentic Brands Group earlier this year. Vinay Solanki, head of Channel 4 Ventures is feeling all shook up with this new partnership. Vinay said: “We’re leading the way in showcasing the potential of media-for-equity for brands, and we’re proud to invest in another business which is a leader in its field. We think live events might be the best use case for AR and VR, and we believe there is a fit using globally recognised brands and IP, like Elvis. This deal is another example of how we can deliver commercial impact for businesses that team up with us.” Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eVV4jA3h Photo credit: Elvis Presley Enterprises LLC.
