Disabled people are introducing some of Channel 4’s biggest shows as they take control of the continuity announcer’s mic to mark the broadcaster’s Year of Disability. Seventeen-year-old Olivia Hale was the first person to step into the continuity announcer’s booth on 10 June. Olivia, who has high-functioning autism, developed her own script and talked about her experience of autism on-air to raise awareness of her condition. The Channel’s Continuity Team is opening up the airwaves to alternative voices with a specific focus on disability. To find out how to become a Broadcaster for Channel 4 View Website.
