Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden will warn that “standing still is not an option” for Channel 4 following a UK government consultation into the privatisation of the broadcaster.

In a speech to the Royal Television Society Convention on Wednesday, Dowden is expected to outline how the channel could continue to thrive even if it is sold.
