So 4ODTV then? Except not at your demand. And cannibalising More4. Right...

Seems a trifle old hat in the era of iPlayer and Sky+, no?

Or you can just Google C4 planning repeats channel.

Interesting idea reminds me of Sky One Mix.

I'd imagine it'll be be about 10 different shows per week across the channel.

The plan is thought to be called ‘Project Shuffle’ and, according to sources close to the channel, it is an attempt to increase the broadcaster’s portfolio share.

If you go through Google instead of directly you can read it. Smile

Seems like a bit of a waste of a channel, particularly with 4OD and the like these days.

More 4 will mostly become a repeats channel when it relaunches later this month anyway won't it?

The Simpsons has just been introduced as "The Dingdongsons"... I don't think this charade is ever going to stop.

The question remains, however, who or what is the Countdown Cat that is constantly being referred to by the continuity announcers?

Here are the best programmes on Channel 4 for week 5, Saturday 28th January - Friday 3rd February.

If your birthday takes place in week 5, you will be asked to take part in Come Dine with Me. Don't. Everyone will think you're an arse, your soufflés will taste of cowpat, and the diners will discover the dirty little secret in your garage.

Destiny wears gold hotpants and has a Noel Edmonds fetish.

Here are the best programmes on Channel 4 for week 4, Saturday 21st - Friday 27th January.

If your birthday falls between those dates, you will win a part in Hollyoaks this year, only to have to pull out at the last minute due to being too old and ugly.

You will also be tempted to write very nice words, all in a row, about what makes Channel 4 the best broadcaster in the world. Give in to temptation. If you don't, you will suffer an agonising hernia in your toe.

Fate sees romance waiting for you in Dictionary Corner on Thursday's Countdown.
