Channel 4 executive pay soared to record highs last year amid industry fury over salaries for senior leaders at the UK commercial broadcaster.
Bumper pay packets were expected for 2022, but Channel 4’s annual report lays bare how much its top team earned as they fought off privatization and delivered a stable commercial performance.
Channel 4’s fortunes have soured in recent months as an ad market downturn has forced it to cancel and delay shows, and significantly slow down new commissions.
As Channel 4 commissions all of its content from independent producers, suppliers have been asked to suck up some of this pain, which has fuelled anger over executive salaries.
Alex Mahon’s total pay packet rose 25% to £1.5M ($2M) last year and was the most a Channel 4 Chief Executive has been paid in the company’s 40-year history.
Channel 4’s executive team received record variable pay of £1.1M last year after the broadcaster’s remuneration committee unlocked bigger performance-related bonuses.
Ian Katz, Channel 4’s Chief Content Officer, pocketed a total pay packet of £845,000. This was an increase of 36% on 2021 and was the most a creative leader at Channel 4 has been paid since 2008.
Mahon and Katz’s pay packets included a loyalty bonus for sticking with Channel 4 as the government attempted to sell the crown jewel of UK broadcasting.

Consequences are finally catching up to Colleen Ballinger.
Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor The 11 remaining dates on Colleen Ballinger’s Miranda Sings live tour have been canceled, and the “Oversharing” podcast she co-hosted with YouTube creator Trisha Paytas has come to an end. The cancellations come after Ballinger, the YouTuber and performer who rose to fame with the awkward, lipstick-smeared Miranda Sings character, has faced accusations that she engaged in inappropriate conduct with young fans several years ago. Ballinger last month responded to the allegations that she formed improper relationships with teenagers, denying that she had “groomed” fans who were children. In a June 28 video, she denied the “lies” and “gossip” about her partly in song, while accompanying herself on a ukulele. “The only thing I’ve ever groomed is my two Persian cats / I’m not a groomer, just a loser / who didn’t understand I shouldn’t respond to fans / and I’m not a predator even a lot of you think so / because five years ago I made a fart joke,” Ballinger sang in the video.
Colleen Ballinger has seemingly cancelled all of her remaining tour dates amid various controversies.
