Well, on T4, an hour ago (because I'm watching on +1), they were promoting The Hits music channel...

Likewise, the Hits has been promoting the Vodafone Live Music awards as premiering on Channel 4/T4 over the past few days, and subsequently repeated on The Hits.

I think Channel 4 now own half of the Emap tv channels with 4 Music set to replace the hits.

deeteetee.co.uk say 4 Music will replace The Hits in the New Year, though the link to the source is subscription only and gives nothing away other than Sky being pissed off about it - why, I don't know?


I've been without the net for a few weeks so if anyone can tell me more, please do so.

From that article:

Quote:
Sources said that the plan is to launch 4Music on Freeview and other digital platforms from January, with Channel 4 sales taking on airtime sales for the channel.

Sky is thought to object to this, as it has a four-year contract, running until 2009, which gives it rights to sell airtime across all of Emap's music TV stations. If the move goes ahead, it could result in a significant loss of revenue.

Oh poor Sky that means they'll have a little less money to play with Rolling Eyes Wink

Roll on the new year I say hopefully 4Music will match E4 Music's standards

They wouldn't lose that much revenue, the commission from selling the ads on 1 music channel won't amount to much in the big scheme of things.

I'd assume E4 Music will be phased out in January then in favour of the 4 Music brand - it's already had it's hours cut.

When E4 Music started back up they mentioned it being a 8 or 9 month run, so presumably Remedy are still under contract to produce it until the next Big Brother.
