"4 Laughs" and "4 Kids TV" launch soon

Don't get too excited now!


Channel 4 has confirmed it plans to launch it's second broadband channel following the success of FourDocs.

4Laughs will allow users to upload their own comedy creations in the same way FourDocs, offering "a platform for talented individuals to showcase their own comedy clips and sketches"

Meanwhile, another kids TV channel has been granted a licence by OFCOM - 4 Kids TV. Nothing to do with C4 though, as this comes from 4 Kids Entertainment, distributor of Pokemon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Yu-Gi-Oh!

I guess that's the disadvantage of naming your channel after a number - it's quite difficult to copyright!

As I said on the toonzone forms, 4kids thinking of dong a TV channel over here is more or less comercial suicide, One Piece and Pokemon, thier two big hitters are already airing elsewhere and I know for a fact that Shaman King is never coming back, cause you know, that was actualy good quality wise.
