Not sure if it's been mentioned on here, but DigitalSpy have news on the upcoming Stand Up To Cancer fundraiser that it says is happening on Channel 4 on October 18th, randomly a Thursday .
I'm not sure whether it's recently been updated, but on the Stand Up To Cancer website it says that it's Friday 19th October.

That would make a lot more sense than the date on the digital spy article.

Not sure if these numbers relate to C4 only or all the channels, but good to hear it will be on less from next month.

From the above link:

Channel 4 last night denied producers had run out of ideas . A spokesman insisted: “In 2012 we are launching more new programmes than any other terrestrial channel.” And he said Come Dine With Me will be on less from next month as new daytime cookery shows are launched.

The daily block of back to back episode is ridiculous - fine on More4 or 4Seven, but not a way to fill the C4 schedules.

Please, come back Watercolour Challenge, all is forgiven.

They had the balance right a few years ago when you had Countdown, DoND and Richard & Judy and Paul O'Grady alternating, as much as I like CDWM up to 6 times a day is taking the p*ss, I understand say at 5pm and maybe a mid morning repeat, but it's not a good sign they're using it as an afternoon filler where the old films and C4 Racing go.

I do wonder if they're making any extra money in daytime since axing the schools shows (and T4 in the holidays), along with News at Noon. They've basically given themselves an extra three hours to fill without the content to fill it - and in theory aren't getting any extra ad revenue as I'm sure the ads from the 4Learning slot were just re-distributed around the schedule anyway.

How about they bring back the big breakfast? Embarassed

If the show were still on air, I'd like to see them try and compete with Daybreak.

Hopefully rhetorical that, as I've explained before the Breakfast TV audience is contracting, with a resurgent radio sector. In addition the BB audience profile now has Internet enabled phones and tablets providing much more individually tailored entertainment, the flippant content and instant news, being available via social networks.

They'd be mad and foolhardy to even attempt it.

Has anyone figured out what the deal is with the C4 announcer telling us what they're "dressed as" before every episode of The Simpsons?

Boredom, I presume. Or another Twitter game.
