Franco-German public television station Arte buys "Apple Garden"; "Detective George Cantley" ushers in the final season; the French drama "Law Enforcement Elite" will not only shoot the fourth season, but also launch an American version; the British E4 and Netflix jointly develop a youth black comedy; and the British Baking Competition production company plans to launch a new baking program.
In early April, British Prime Minister Theresa May officially launched the Brexit process, followed by two years of negotiations. Two of the latest programmes released by BBC2 are related to Brexit, namely the documentary drama 20 Days (tentative name) and the documentary "Brexit Means Brexit". Viceland even sent 4 British comedians to 4 European cities to investigate european perceptions of the matter.
In addition, to avoid obstruction in the Brexit negotiations, Theresa May announced on April 18 that the general election scheduled for 2020 would be held to June 8, 2017. Not only did this send the pound on a roller coaster, but it also affected the course of the Communications Authority's investigation into the 21st Century Fox-Sky merger. British Culture Secretary Karen Bradley wrote to Ofcom to extend the investigation from May 16 to June 20.
On April 20, according to the annual financial statements released by UK multi-channel operator UKTV, its revenue in 2016 increased by 8% to 345 million pounds (about 442 million US dollars). UKTV CEO Darren Childs believes this is mainly due to the company's investment in the original content sector and video-on-demand services. Over the past year, UKTV's investment in content has totalled £150 million. UkTV plans to further expand its original lineup, together with the Commercial Growth Fund of Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, preparing to launch a multi-million pound Innovation Fund.
