Why are C4 being forced out of London?
 

Ministers could use the law to force Channel 4 into moving from London if the TV channel does not “get on board” and agree to go voluntarily.

The Independent understands action could be taken in the new year if the broadcaster continues to refuse to shift operations from the capital.

Officials have identified a private members bill brought forward by Conservative Stoke-on-Trent South MP Jack Brereton, which they believe could be used as a vehicle to make changes that would force the shift through.
Mr Brereton said his proposed piece of legislation, due to have its second reading in October 2018, could see Channel 4 having a “significant transformative impact on a new location”
