They might not have xmas idents this year they got that new block man thing

Well considering they've added to their Christmas endboards this year, I doubt they're dumped. It's still the same OSP package, just different ident films.

The only reason the endbroads have changed is to bring it into line with the "4" now appearing on screen before smashing up Razz A few people haven't clicked on that fact.

Looks like there's no Christmas Idents for Channel 4 this year. Snowman/Christmas Lights/Snow... I asked them on Twitter earlier... and they just said they already launched new idents...

Unless they listen to me and stick em on xD ... But I doubt it Sad

I tried clarifying with them but no reply. It's a shame they don't use them. They still use the snow one for promos at least. Awk Sad

Up until 2015, Channel 4 hadn't done any regular-use Christmas idents at all. Throughout the whole era of the 2004-2015 idents, the only time they came close was the "Snowman and Snowdog" one in 2012 which was used again in 2013- however, I don't really count that one as a "regular" Christmas ident, as it was only used in a few junctions.

The current situation of Christmas endboards but no matching ident is comparable to Channel 5 last year.

A real shame, if they do not appear at all

You can't drop such a masterpiece easily and get away with that

There wouldn't really be any need to fudge the 4 into them - after all they're still using the 'clock' and Simpsons idents.

I don't usually like seeing the same idents year on year, but it would be a crying shame not to have that 45 seconds of Christmas lights bliss on screen again.

Has that turned up in HD yet for the other promos using it?
