</p><p>This government is committed to spreading jobs and prosperity throughout the
UK, and it is important that our broadcasting sector reflects and provides for the
whole country. That is why Public Service Broadcasters are legally obliged to produce
a proportion of their content outside of London, as well as make regional programming.
This supports the many creative hubs around the UK and widens access to the UK's world
class creative industries</p><p> </p><p>We have worked with Channel 4 to secure a
commitment to move a minimum 300 staff outside of London, and to increase out of London
commissioning spend from 35% to 50%. The government has made clear that we expect
other broadcasters to follow Channel 4’s lead.</p>
