We chose to air our program on Channel 4 for a variety of important reasons. Channel 4 regularly airs documentaries which is the main reason we chose it because the audience they attract have interests in factual documentaries. Coupling this with the amount of viewers they have and how much recognition they have would help our documentary get seen.
