£1.14 billion in revenue is very very good going. These figures show a strong Channel 4 - all the speculation over the axing of programmes could maybe simply down to Channel 4 wanting to clear out failing programming and not about cost cutting.
It is definitely a lot to do with cost cutting, they have been honest with the industry about this. They currently have a full commissioning freeze across the summer (aside from current affairs and digital), that's not normal. The report is about their performance in 2022 before the current and significant advertising downturn (which is at least mentioned at the end). This is affecting the whole industry but it has particularly affected C4 this year.
