Channel 4 have announced more details about their new base which is set to open in Glasgow. 

The media company have outlined plans for the new creative hub in the city, as well as their new ventures in Leeds and Bristol. 

The company have set out the creative, digital and operational departments to be based in Channel 4’s new offices across the UK.

The new Creative Hub in Glasgow will be a home for key creative decision makers supporting Channel 4’s relationships with the production sector, particularly focused on genres with strengths in Scotland and Northern Ireland. 

Commissioning departments represented in the new Creative Hub in Glasgow will include Entertainment & Live Events, Factual, Factual Entertainment, Formats & Features, and News & Current Affairs.  

It will also continue to be the base of the Nations & Regions Creative Diversity team – and will also have additional supporting operational roles.

As previosuly announced, the hub will be based The Garment Factory, a large building in the Merchant City Central Conservation Area.

Chief executive Alex Mahon said: "We are moving fast and we are on track to open our three new bases in the Nations & Regions this autumn.  

"Channel 4 will soon be a very different organisation to the one we have been for the last 36 years.  

"There remains much hard work for us to do, but this is part of our strategy to ensure Channel 4 is even more open to new talent and new voices from underserved areas and better reflects the diversity of all of the UK.”

In the coming weeks Channel 4 will be announcing the buildings it has selected for its National HQ in Leeds and Creative Hub in Bristol

The new bases are at the heart of Channel 4’s 4 All the UK strategy to attract and develop talent from across the UK, both on and off-screen, and support the significant increase in the organisation’s Nations & Regions spend on creative content – from 35 per cent to 50 per cent of main channel UK commissions by 2023, worth up to £250m more in total.   

When implemented, the 4 All the UK strategy will result in over 300 jobs being created in the Nations & Regions.

The National HQ in Leeds will have creative and digital departments at its heart and will also be the base of the Managing Director, C4 Nations & Regions.

Commissioning departments represented in the new National HQ will include: Comedy, Daytime, Drama, Entertainment & Live Events, E4, Factual, Features & Formats and Sport. It will also include members of the On-Screen Talent and Creative Diversity teams, responsible for the diversity of Channel 4’s talent and programming.

Commissioners from these departments will work with producers and talent across the UK to support the significant growth in Channel 4’s Nations & Regions content spend and create more opportunities for regional voices and talent on and off-screen.

Leeds will also be the home of Channel 4’s new Digital Creative Unit – a new department commissioning and producing digital content to reach audiences on social and digital platforms.  The Digital Creative Unit will work with departments across the organisation, and with independent producers, to support new digital talent and Channel 4’s investment in young-focussed content and audiences.

Additionally, the National HQ will also house other creative departments including the on-air continuity department, who produce and voice the airtime between Channel 4 programmes; and the Pictures team, commissioning and creating images for All 4 and for external media.   There will also be a team supporting a new studio within the National HQ, and creative and digital roles from 4Creative, All 4, and the Listings team.

The new Creative Hub in Bristol will be a base for key creative decision makers supporting Channel 4’s relationship with the production sector – with a particular focus on supporting genres strongly represented in the South West, Wales and Midlands.
