Channel 4

Channel 4 News has been awarded the International Emmy for News at the 2024 News & Documentary Emmy Awards, for our reporting from Israel and Gaza in ‘Inside Gaza: Israel and Hamas at War’. The programme has won widespread acclaim for its sensitive reporting on a complex story, achieving the Emmy after BAFTA and RTS recognition in 2024. Channel 4 News has achieved this trio of award wins for an unprecedented second time, following a hat-trick in 2019 for reporting on the Cambridge Analytica scandal. From the foreign teams in Israel working to bring on the ground coverage, to our US correspondent bringing international reaction and our forensic investigations team at home in London, the award is a testament to the entire Channel 4 News team’s dedication to impartial, fact-based reporting.

In 1999, a TV phenomenon made its first debut on Channel 4, changing forever the nation’s attitude towards property and self-build projects.   25 years and almost 200 episodes later, we were delighted to be joined this week by the face of Grand Designs, Kevin McCloud, and those most intimately involved in the production behind the scenes to collectively celebrate one of TV’s most beloved shows.   Radio host and secret Grand Designs superfan Greg James led an audience Q&A with Kevin, whilst episodes and iconic moments from the archives entertained our guests, who left with a book about the series and an exclusive commemorative tea towel designed by Kevin himself!   We’d like to thank Kevin and the production team behind the show, plus everyone involved in organising and attending this celebration.
