  &lt;p&gt;The warning came from &lt;a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/91d89384-6978-11db-952e-0000779e2340.html"&gt;C4 chief executive Andy Duncan in an interview with FT.com&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;&#8220;People need to wake up and realise that this is not just a cyclical issue. There is deep structural change taking place.&#8221;&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;&#8220;If we want to protect the fantastic legacy of UK broadcasting, we need to wake up to this sooner rather than later.&#8221;&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Mr Duncan has been lobbying Ofcom and the government for more financial support to help Channel 4 maintain its public broadcasting service through the transition to digital TV. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Channel 4 has also been negotiating with Google with the aim of making its programming content available online.&#160; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The internet is rapidly expanding as a medium for advertising &#8211; I&lt;a href="http://www.iabuk.net/en/1/iabpwconlineadspendfiguresfirsthalf2006.mxs"&gt;AB figures show that online marketing grew by 40% this year&lt;/a&gt;, and now accounts for 10.5 of the UK ad market. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;In the same period, the television advertising market fell by 1.3%. &lt;/p&gt;
