Though in the scripted genres, it may take longer in order to give &#8220;more detailed&#8221; constructive feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Channel 4 is reducing the maximum period of time it can take to make a decision on a funded development from nine months to six months in non-scripted genres. &#8220;In general, we\u2019ll try to do it quicker. And for developments of under \u00a320,000 that we choose not to commission, we won\u2019t try to recover the money if you place it elsewhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Once a project is greenlit, Channel 4&#8217;s commissioning and commercial affairs teams will work closely to minimize the time it takes between the conditional decision and getting the Ed Spec, budget and commissioning agreement finalized.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want our commissioning team to be the most creative, skilled and collaborative in the business,&#8221; the broadcaster said. So, in 2019, the plan is to launch a new training program for all new commissioners and provide ongoing training for existing teams.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcaster said it&#8217;s committed to sharing more audience insight and performance data to help producers &#8220;focus development strategically&#8221; to reach their target audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want your businesses to flourish and achieve global success with C4 as a partner, and we\u2019ll do all we can to help achieve that,&#8221; the broadcaster continued. &#8220;We always want to receive your candid feedback on how you find working with us, and how we can work together most creatively and productively.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 4 is introducing five commitments as part of a new \u201ccreative contract\u201d in an effort to strengthen its relationship with producers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[117],"class_list":["post-8653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
