What you mean this bit:
The Channel 4 service was originally established under the
Broadcasting Act 1981 and was provided for by the Independent
Broadcasting Authority. The Channel Four Television Corporation was
subsequently established under the Broadcasting Act 1990 and the
Channel's functions were transferred over to the new Corporation in
1993. The Corporation's board is appointed by OFCOM in agreement with
the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.
