Channel 4's Birthday

Er, there's a little matter of Channel 4's 21st birthday next week. Are they doing anything for it, or aren't they bothering?

They didn't do anything last year remember?

Well they are ending Brookie and giving Hollyoaks an extra episode in the same week (plus a late night episode) short of that Channel 4 don't seem to like to promote their age.

Has Brookside being going since it launched?

Well isnt been 21 more important that 20

Yes, I think this will leave Countdown as the only programme left that has been there since Channel 4 launched. It now looks like Channel 4 are trying to scrap Countdown by moving it around all over the place untill it get such low ratings that they can axe it!

And the news!

Channel 4 and Channel 4 News were supposed to be relaunching on their birthday with a completely new look. They were supposed to be bringing in a new logo, replacing the one that has been there since the start.

there was mention of a re-launch in november, not neccesarily on their birthday

Perhaps they are going to relaunch, and they just haven't told anyone.

Didn't they celebrate their 15th? Or was it just that Adam and Joe C4 nostalgia programme, and nothing else?

Richard Whiteley was interviewed on XFM this morning. According to him, Countdown's birthday (and Channel 4's) birthday is on Sunday, so Friday's edition of the show will have a surprise ending.
