Matt Risley Exiting Channel 4 After Five Years Running 4Studio
Channel 4's Matt Risley, who worked on making 'Hollyoaks' available on YouTube, is exiting after five years.
He said it has been the “professional privilege of my career to launch, scale and nurture a department that has become integral to the business’ future.” Channel 4 confirmed his departure but declined to comment on succession plans. The studio has been talked up by departing CEO Alex Mahon in recent years, who has placed digital front and center of Channel 4’s strategy. He has led the development of 4Studio into a social powerhouse, generating new revenue streams, collaborating with teams across the business to drive billions of social views to Channel 4 content annually, and creating dozens of roles that have introduced the next generation of digital talent into the business and industry – the vast majority of which are based in our Leeds National HQ.”
