Let's hope that this has saved Channel 4.

Hopefully but I fear not.  You'd think there couldn't possibly be anyone worse at being culture secretary than she is but they always manage to surprise.

I imagine the the likes of the BBC are not celebrating just yet for that very reason. Previously they had thought John Whittingdale MP was bad news for them.

From the candidate interviews I seem to recall that both had indicated the Channel 4 sale would still go ahead. Hopefully though the BBC can get a better increase/settlement though with whoever takeovers as Culture Secretary to avoid even deeper cuts.
