Channel 4 had been a matter of controversy for years even before it
came on the air in November 1982. There were lengthy debates about
what its role would be and the part to be played by the ITV
companies and the growing number of independent television
producers. There was also political controversy over the profile of
the new channel, some wishing to see it as "their" channel in
response to the apparent political hegemony of Margaret Thatcher.
The result was sharp conflicts, not only over programming but, as
the channel became established, over its relationships with the ITV
companies and its regulatory body, the IBA. These controversies in
the making of Channel 4 are revisited in this volume. The opening
article by Edmund Dell, the channel's first chairman, describes and
explains his sometimes stormy relationship with Jeremy Isaacs, the
chief executive, while the witness seminar and the other articles
offer the views of Channel 4 commissioning editors and
representatives from the IBA, the ITV companies, the independent
producers, the Home Office and the BBC.
