I think Channel 4 are too worried about losing their viewer base so much that they feel the need to rely on these staples. It's definitely a far cry from the days when Channel 4 was experimental, trying new formats and making their digital channels feel unique to viewers of every taste.
Now, all the channels look the same or identical, airing constant repeats of Gogglebox and Naked Attraction. And any acquisitions that don't get the viewership with no promotions get shoved off to the yawn hours and/or barely acknowledged, such as Adult Swim as mentioned before. All 4 used to promote how good their animation offering was, and now most of that is on ITVX now (barring Adult Swim obviously).
Katz definitely needs to go. There needs to be a freshen up of C4's department, move certain shows around the schedule, and make C4 more adaptive with the streaming age, I don't think viewers are """binging""" Gogglebox marathons.
