I wish e4 closed for this vote - in my opinion it is even more important to vote for the EU.

I'd like to know if the closure of E4 had any significant effect on the turnout of voters. I interpreted it as a tongue-in-cheek publicity stunt rather than a bold political statement.

Yes - You're probably right about that

The strange thing that only Disney seem to do where they keep most of their big films off TV for decades...

Disney has a trend of what they call Vaulting - in a nutshell their big animated films are pushed out on video/DVD/Blu-Ray for a while, then withdrawn from sale for on average about seven years, then put back out again often in new packaging or at the anniversary releases.
Everything that is vaulted this way (a list of 16 films which includes The Lion King) is on the Sky Disney/on-demand/Sky Store, though at least one or two of them gets rotated on the main Sky Disney channel - at the moment the choices from the vault list appear to be Alice in Wonderland and The Jungle Book, so the principle clearly doesn't apply to TV airings.
The Lion King is a great film and I'm glad it's coming to Channel 4.

Actually I'd argue it's perfectly designed to satisfy customers who want to see it now while still driving interest for collectors. If anyone knows how to milk an IP, it's Disney!
That policy is utterly outdated in this day and age and surely encourages piracy. Put them permanently on sale, for crying out loud, Disney.

I don't get why Channel 4 idents don't show the 4 logo but when I'm on Channel 4 HD I see the logo all the time.
It bugs me. I really hope they film new idents soon.

They don't seem to have bothered with the vaulting on home video the last few years, the "vaulted" films seem to have been consistently on sale on DVD & Blu-ray for quite a few years now.
