Documentaries:
We will continue to prioritise modern documentary and documentary formats that appeal to a younger audience.We aim to combine ambition, intelligence and energy with a popular sensibility.
AltTV will continue to give young talent their first break into peak time television, providing their first foothold on the Documentaries talent ladder.

Statement of Promises for Channel4 in general:

Channel 4 has never sought to be the biggest broadcaster but it does set out to be the broadcaster that has the most to say. In a climate of economic recession, and with increasing competition in a multi-channel environment, Channel 4 makes its top priority the distinctiveness, the imaginative and the social impact of its programmes.
We will champion, for viewers and the creative community in equal measure, an interrogative independence of mind, a defence of cultural freedom and diversity, the free play of the individual imagination and an interactive relationship between our programmes and our audience.

We will champion risk and non-conformism in all genres of programmes.

We will set aside programmes and resources to encourage new talent on screen and behind the camera.
