In response, Channel 4 said the decision to move forward with the sell-off was " disappointing" and ignored " significant public interest concerns".
The channel's former head of news and Current Affairs , Dorothy Byrne, told BBC Radio 4 : " The Argument doesn't stack up because Channel 4 is not there to compete with Netflix and Amazon.
" It is there to provide a public service to The People of Britain with really important programmes like Channel 4 News or Unreported World , which Netflix or Amazon would never make. "
She told the Today programme That " if you wanted to support independent Production Companies , you would invent Channel 4 , which is exactly what Margaret Thatcher did".

" If we do nothing in a landscape where traditional broadcasters have got declining incomes, declining amounts of money they can spend making new programmes, will Channel 4 be sustainable? For me, That 's The Test .
