New Controller for More 4:
Quote:
Channel 4 documentaries chief Peter Dale has been appointed controller of C4's proposed over-35s' digital channel, More 4.
According to Broadcast, the move suggests a reassessment of More 4's emphasis away from mixed entertainment to factual programming with a public service broadcasting focus.
Broadcast says much of the channel's £10m-£20m programming budget will be spent on factual commissions. Channel 4 was recently urged to sharpen its public service broadcasting role by media regulator Ofcom.

It was due to launch in the Spring, but has now been delayed to the Autumn.
The budget has been increased to £30m a year to include more original commissions, alongside factual repeats from C4.
C4 are now inviting branding companies, including in-house team 4 Creative, to design the presentation for the channel.
