They do the same thing when they take content from Sky News too.


I guess that's from a technical reason, rather than a petty one of making your rivals look low quality?

It is - I can’t remember the reasons why, but the off air feed of C4 normally available in NBH is the SD version. For the Paralympics there had to be a special booking (of an HD receiver) made to make C4HD available. For whatever reason that wasn’t done on Sunday night and the SD version was recorded instead.


I do remember when TVC was in operation, anything from ITV was sourced from analogue off air, (with a thumping great ghost in the picture too (thanks to Westfield someone said), it wasn't until April 2012 (DSO in London) that that feed went 'digital', (although when did news move to NBH ? Not long after ?)

I thought those were inflatable chairs until I realised they've just got a plastic sheet over them. I'd have tuned in for that.

That area of Studio B has certainly proved to be versatile recently.

This must be a tough debate for the producers to prepare for as the Identity and Number of Participants won't be certain until 6pm.

Using C4 SD is the least of the problems I have with Dominc Raab.


Well, he’ll be regretting not using the HD footage now 😝
