Channel 4 Youth Strand

[DeMarkay]

Channel 4 are launching a brand-new youth strand late this Summer and has appointed the BBC’s Debbie Ramsay (Executive News Editor, Commissioning UK) as Commissioning Editor:

Channel 4 has appointed Debbie Ramsay as Commissioning Editor, Current Affairs for the brand-new youth strand launching in the late summer of 2022. It will be a digital first/All 4 proposition – with linear slots following.

The strand, title tbc, is part of the Channel 4’s effort to bolster the range of programmes reflecting the lives and interests of younger viewers. Debbie will be reporting to Louisa Compton, Head of News and Current Affairs and Specialist Factual and Sport.

The youth programming will seek to maintain the remit-defining, noisy and bold journalism for which Dispatches and the wider current affairs department has won both headlines and major awards.

But the absolute focus of this strand will be to produce films that speak to younger viewers on the subjects they care about, fronted by diverse and authentic voices from across the UK. It will aim to find new talent, and to expand the already strong pool of production companies that currently supply content to the wider department.

Why am I reminded of the old Reportage programme on DEF 2?

Sounds like it'll be more for young adults than for older kids.
