Sacha Khari, Head of Digital Commissioning at Channel 4 said: “Creating a new loyalty to Channel 4 from a generation who are saturated with choice, has been a really exciting challenge to solve and with digital constantly evolving, we’re still trialling, learning and looking closely at the data and ‘vibes’ to ensure 4.0 continues on this trajectory.”
Its newest commission is Tapped Out, a brand-new six-part prank series produced by Wall of Productions, where Nella Rose and friends will turn practical jokers as they see who can last the longest in a range of hilarious and cringeworthy situations, aiming to execute the “wildest pranks possible”.
