Channel 4 partners with Sacha Baron Cohen's TV production company
Channel 4 has announced a new partnership with Spelthorne Community Television, a UK based start-up co-founded by actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and Andrew Newman, to help drive a new wave of risk-taking comedy.
Channel 4 will take a minority stake in the business which will support new and emerging comedy writers and performers in new entertainment series with a strong focus on innovation and ideas.
The deal is part of Channel 4’s Growth Fund which was launched last year to support the UK independent production sector by providing access to funding for creative companies with a clear trajectory for growth.
