		</div><p>Channel 4 has unveiled a year of record revenues and a financial surplus of £26m, with a marked growth of 30% in digital revenues.</p>
<p>But it is under pressure from the UK government, which is considering options from full or part-privatisation to the sale of a minority stake, the payment of a dividend and the relocation to Birmingham or Manchester for the publicly-funded broadcaster.</p>
<p>Channel 4 chairman Charles Gurassa said the uncertainty around the Government&#8217;s position was &#8220;not helpful&#8221;.</p>
<p>He said: It&#8217;s not for me to comment on the ultimate workings of government, but from a Channel 4 perspective what is not helpful is prolonged uncertainty.</p>
<p>&#8220;This review was first publicly discussed in the autumn, we are now in mid-May, and prolonged uncertainty is not good for any organisation.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not good for our staff, it&#8217;s not good for our business partners, it&#8217;s not good for our advertisers, because they are all asking &#8230; what is going to happen and what will the implications be?&#8221;</p>
<p>In a message to the UK government, he said: &#8220;You have the information, we will happily engage on any options that you consider and give you our views, but it would be good to get to a position where we can move on and be clear whether there are going to be changes and what they are going to be.&#8221;</p>
