Synopsis:Amoan Saba Saakana explores the consequences of discriminatory policies and practices which Channel Four has inherited from the established world of television. The contribution argues that the black community remains almost completely excluded from access to the new channel and that its reliance on 'tried and trusted' production companies for its programmes is a form of racism-by-default, not by intention.
