Channel 4 will echo Amazon’s manoeuvre in the United States by running a competition among British cities to host a “second headquarters”, as part of a package of measures to increase its impact outside London.
The taxpayer-owned broadcaster will move 300 jobs outside the capital including at a new “National HQ” following a long battle with the Government.
The Guardian adds that it will not be forced to sell its £100m base in London.
Two smaller “creative hubs” will also be set up and the proportion of its budget spent with non-London production companies will increase from 35pc to 50pc, equivalent to a cumulative increase of £250m by 2023.
According to the Times Channel 4 News will be the first peak-time national news programme to be co-anchored from London and a regional bureau.
