Locate to Channel 4

Advantages: Interesting viewing
Disadvantages: I'm not even a first time buyer yet!

...a great team and actually know what they are talking about! However (uh oh), I'd rather not end this on a negative note but I often wonder if the program is a set up. I only say this because I know some one who went on the television program 'A place in the sun' and that's a fix. So I wonder if Location Location Location also has false couples to make the programs interesting. I hope I'm wrong. Answers on the back of a Ciao postcard please. ?Websites?

CHANNEL 4 NEWS.

Advantages: A little later in the day. Free.
Disadvantages: Too long and not that local.

...Channel 4 terrestrial TV news. On 6 night a week Sunday to Friday. Monday to Friday the programme runs from 19.00 - 20.00 (it finishes a little earlier on Friday at 19.40) on Sundays from 19.30 - 20.00 hrs. The most predominant presenter is the by now famous Jon Snow (a regular). There is often 1 other presenter. The presenters adopt a variety of positions in the studio, sometimes standing sometimes seated behind a desk - Is there any reason for these differing poses? The programme starts with an outline of the major news items to be covered during the programme. Oddly the background to the presenters seem full of colour and object of a rather ill defined nature. The areas around the screens for presentations and in the foreground are translucent rather like the set from a science fiction movie. The screens project live...

Review of Channel 4 - News

C and B channel 4!!!

Advantages: Better coverage and highlights are better
Disadvantages: Cricket does swap for horse racing

...With the help of Npower and the ECB, Channel 4 has provided the whole of Britain with live coverage which the fans find exciting and thrilling to watch. Channel 4 has brought us many great matches during this last decade, the most memorable being the Ashes win this year with brilliant performances from both teams. If I am looking to watch cricket, Channel 4 is the first place I go. Another factor that has effected Channel 4 a lot is the amazing and exiting commentry from some of the greats. Some examples would be Richie Benaud (Aus), Michael Atherton (Eng), Mark Slater (Aus), Ian Botham (Eng) and Domonic Cork (Eng). All of these ex - cricketers have provided us with accurate, entertaining and heart stopping cricket. The most experienced is probably good old Richie Benaud. Unfortunatly he has now retired and I am hoping that Graham...

Channel 4 out of 5

Advantages: OK selection
Disadvantages: behind other channels

...It seems that Channel 4 has decided that its target audience is lower in age than before. A lot of the prime time space is now filled with programmes that appeal to teens and young adults. Take for example T4. Johnny Bravo, Blunt, Hollyoaks, Making the Band, Futurama, Italian football and WWF Wrestling, all target the younger ages. This is probably because Channel 4 recognises that we are still in bed gone midday, and that we are likely to just lie there and watch TV! True! Channel 4 still has Brookside for slightly more mature members of the population (well, I think so!) and Countdown and 15 to 1, but from 17:30, we are the target, and I love it! The programmes range from soaps to comedies to documentaries, to fun cartoons to sport and action. Channel 4?s Friday evenings do leave a bit to be desired compared to BBC2 now that Friends...

Channel 4 - Sound

Advantages: Good original programs, run into the night
Disadvantages: Bad news coverage

...If you are a student, or younger than 30, Channel 4 will defiantly be one of your favourite channels. Since the days of the wooden block logo, Channel 4 has moved on, bringing entertaining comedies, ground braking documentaries and other controversial programmes. To begin, lets look at the general content… ~CONTENT~ The main focus of Channel 4 is entertainment, rather than news, and has an interesting collection of comedies in it’s schedule. For example Trigger-Happy TV, Smack the Pony, and Friends being some of the best. Another excellent feature of Channel 4 is the innovative and often controversial documentaries, for example Time Team, Anatomy of Disgust and Dispatches. These documentaries are both hard hitting and informative, somewhere the BBC would never go. Aside from this, Channel 4 has much tongue...

Channel 4: The Curse Of The Network

Advantages: Criket & Count Down & Big Brother
Disadvantages: Friends Repeats

...Channel 4 has to be one of the world's worst TV networks. The companies main goals seem to be get rid of any good shows they have and waste money on a number of failed morning shows such as RI:SE! In this high detailed report I look at Channel 4: The Curse Of The Network. Channel 4 was the last channel to be launched which doesn't require anything but a normal TV. Soon after the launch of ITV channel 4 was launched. It offer a range of new shows such as "Count Down". But over the past few years the network has had little ratings success and continues to show non-stop repeats of Friends & Cheers. 6am-12am - Good Morning and welcome to Channel 4. It's 1996 this is "The Big Breakfast". The show soon became a hit and was watched by millions of viewers every morning. But after a number of years on air the show started having problems...

4FTER

Advantages: Worth watching on a Friday
Disadvantages: Another money milking music channel

...That's the thing about youth today, there is massive segregation when it comes to friendship groups and the music that they listen to, so what is best for these music channels to show so that they don't lose out on audiance ratings due to alienating one certain type of viewer? Well show everything seems to be the idea done by most channels, including well known ones such as MTV and The Box. B4 runs along the same lines as both those channels, but does 357 (an easy diagonal to press in for us Sky Digital customers) have the same recipe for success? B4's premise is simple, it is to show music before any other channel, and we all know that one of the key things about being cool when you're younger is knowing the new music before anyone else. The problem I see with this is that most music on the channel comes over from America anyway...

channel 4's - 1940s House

Advantages: a great series
Disadvantages: none

...The 1940s house - broadcastes by channel 4. The Hymers - Lyn and Michael actually live in a Victorian terraced house in Yorkshire - England. With their daughter Kirstie and her two sons Ben and Tom who live nearby. Their lounge/sitting room is Victorian Styled, their dining room in 1940s, the kitchen is a 50s diner and their bathroom is Edwardian. The family all come from a small market town of Otley, which is near Leeds. The family - (Lyn, Kirstie, Thomas and Ben) thought that Micheal had a very clear view of what the 1940s period was like, so they then decided that they would like to live in "The 1940s House". So then they could experience it first hand what it was really like. Profiles! Michael Hymers. He's 52, and is a Executive in Charge of Production at a nearby small engineering firm that manufactures aeroplane...

Review of Channel 4

Channel 4

Advantages: Decent comedy shows
Disadvantages: None really

...Channel 4 is surprisingly good. It was, for a long time, considered something of a joke but it is probably one of the better channels around. A lot of the days schedule is...uninteresting, but at certain times of the day they do show some top quality programmes. The 6-7 slot is also quite often filled with something worth watching. Hollyoaks is a good example of something that is worth watching. Friday evenings are also good for comedy with Frasier, Friends, South Park, etc being shown. OK these programmes are not to everyone's taste and the decent shows may be spread a bit thinly at times, but at least they do consistently show decent things at the same times. They don't constantly reschedule programmes to try to win more viewers and end up losing existing ones (take note ITV, BBC, Sky One, etc) and this means that you always know...

Review of Channel 4

Channel 4 all

Advantages: Great programming, high entertainment, great presenters.
Disadvantages: None that I can think off!

...I recently learnt that Channel 4 was controlled by the government and this came as somewhat of a surprise to me. In my opinion Channel 4 is overlooked too often - ratings wars are always between BBC1 and ITV. But this is not how it should be because Channel 4 is an excellent channel. Channel 4 is probably most famous at the moment for Big Brother (and its celebrity spin-off in conjunction with Children in Need). Big Brother was a revolutionary programme for the U.K - never before had we seen such a reality programme. While many did not like it, it gripped the nation for over two months. That is the thing about Channel 4 - they are not afraid to try new things and are very innovative in their approach to television. Another example of this, in my opinion, is AS IF. This is currently on Channel 4 (Wednesday and Thursday, 6pm...
