Further written evidence submitted by
Channel 4
In response to a request to clarify our answer to
Questions 38-39, Channel 4 would like to submit the following
information:
Channel 4 stands by its statement that E4 was out-bid
by BBC3 for the acquisition of Harper's Island. Channel 4 would
not have bid for Harper's Island if it did not believe the programme
was likely to be a good editorial fit, and Channel 4 withdrew
from the bidding process for economic reasons. As the final price
that BBC3 paid for Harper's Island is not in the public domain,
Channel 4 is unable to reliably estimate the amount by which BBC3's
bid exceeded E4's.
