Last week, our Disability Project Manager, Nicole Steven had a busy time supporting on our Paralympics content. She visited our remote galleries and production team in, the accessible Cymru Broadcast Centre in Cardiff. Then, she headed to Paris to check out our stadium studios and got a behind-the-scenes look at The Last Leg! #CreativeEquity #Paralympics2024

CEO of Channel 4. Non Executive Director. Well behaved women seldom make history. 😀
Ahhhhh the Paralympics 2024 are complete 20 million people watched on Channel 4 We had our biggest audience share week in 12 years!! People watched on TV, on streaming, on TikTok, on Instagram, on YouTube. We put it everywhere! It was our most accessible games ever. 91% of our presenting and commenting team were disabled, 30% of our crews in total. Live subtitles were available for everything. Peak-time sports had audio description and live signing. The presenters were incredible, the coverage was fun and innovative and joyful, the Last Leg every night was spectacular. The medal haul for GB was unparalleled. The crews and teams worked non stop. I always think that young people are the most accepting and championing of difference and this proved it. Channel 4's coverage was a massive hit with those supposedly elusive young viewers. We recorded our biggest ever share of young viewers - 44% up on Tokyo 2020 and and even up on London 12 years ago. They fundamentally care about equality. Everything about the joy and the brilliance of working on this is summed up for me in this clip from the last night of The Last Leg in Paris with Alex Brooker. It's the pride and the joy and the fun. You can hear his voice cracks with emotion and he talks so passionately about how he and others now see themselves reflected differently to before. Thank you to so many partners and friends and supporters and to everyone across Channel 4. It has been a phenomenal and truly impactful team effort.

Let's just say the panel was very demure, very mindful and very real! Great job to Neila Butt, our Creative Equity Lead who produced the session 'Is This The Beginning Of The End For Diversity, Equity and Inclusion In TV? and Naomi Sesay FRSA, our Head of Creative Equity who joined as a speaker on the panel. Edinburgh TV Festival - Supported by Screen Scotland "It was great opportunity to produce a panel about the current function of DEI across the industry. There was also a really rich programme of content from WIll.I.am talking about AI to the impact on freelancers. Having a focus on social mobility was invaluable whilst so many of the industry was gathered together, lets hope we can build on the discussions that were had'' - Neila Butt #creativeequity #channel4
