C4 really has faltered with it's spending. I feel like under the pressure of the previous culture secretary has made them feel concious about being "up to date" and "in with the times" that they've been trying to catch up to the likes of Netflix. Even though, like all streamers right now, they're feeling the squeeze and are now downsizing and/or creating ad-supported tiers for their platforms.
Baffles me why they spent money on football rights or local offices when the budget is not there for it. Closing underutilised channels like 4seven and the Box channels probably will subsidide the cost, but that's pennies in the ocean in comparison to how much the broadcast needs to make each year.
Mahon definitely needs to go.
Not just Alex Mahon, Ian Katz as well.
