Conor McGinn MP Member of Parliament for St Helens North
I’m joining the bid by Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram to bring Channel 4 to the Liverpool City Region.
With the public service broadcaster looking for a new headquarters, Channel 4 would find a soulmate in our region лв and I think St Helens has so much to offer this partnership.
Channel 4 is also set to increase its spending on shows made by TV production companies based outside London from хЃ169m annually to about хЃ350m a year by 2023.
This represents a golden opportunity for our borough’s creative sector and is an important chance to show our creative potential in our 150th anniversary year.\n

I hope that the bid is successful and I’ll be supporting it any way I can to help the business case for Channel 4 to come to the Liverpool City Region.
