It began transmission on 2 November 1982. It finished with the Channel 4 logo box on the right of the screen and the name 'Channel 4 Schools' being shown. [15], On 29 September 2015, Channel 4 revamped its presentation for a fifth time; the new branding downplayed the "4" logo from most on-air usage, in favour of using the shapes from the logo in various forms. New programmes such as the weekly, half-hour The Morning Report news programme were among some of the new content Channel 4 provided for the station, with the name 4Radio being used. It is also recognisable for its 'wraparound' covers, which use the front and back as a continuous canvas – often produced by guest artists. [41], Channel 4 is a "publisher-broadcaster", meaning that it commissions or "buys" all of its programming from companies independent of itself. A present feature of presentation was a countdown sequence featuring, in 1993 a slide with the programme name, and afterwards an extended sequence matching the channel branding.

[75], On 31 July 2009, Virgin Media added Channel 4 HD on channel 146 (later on channel 142, now on channel 141) as a part of the M pack. Simon Moore knits together its three stories – the travails of anti-drugs campaigner and MP Bill Paterson and his addict daughter Julia Ormond, the hunt for German dealer George Kakura and the Pakistani poppy farmers exploited by crooks and politicians alike – with uncanny skill. Stonewall director Ben Summerskill stated: "In spite of his ridiculous and often offensive views, it is an important way of reminding him that there are some countries where free speech is not repressed...If it serves that purpose, then Channel 4 will have done a significant public service". [4] This led to very good coverage across most of the country and few problems of interference with other UK-based transmissions; a stark contrast to the problems associated with Channel 5's launch almost 15 years later. Part of Channel 4's remit covers the commissioning of programmes from outside London. In the Alternative Christmas address of 2008, a Channel 4 tradition since 1993 with a different presenter each year, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made a thinly veiled attack on the United States by claiming that Christ would have been against "bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers". Another film would have focused on compulsive male masturbators and a third was to feature the sex educator Dr Betty Dodson. Creators: Graham Linehan, Arthur Matthews, Starring: Dermot Morgan, Ardal O’Hanlon, Frank Kelly.

The programmes, transmitted during the Easter period of 1984, seemed to advocate the idea that the Gospels were unreliable, Jesus may have indulged in witchcraft, and that he may not have even existed. John Ranelagh, first Commissioning Editor for Religion, made his priority 'broadening the spectrum of religious programming' and more 'intellectual' concerns. The magazine is frequently organised around a theme for the issue, for instance giving half of November 2007's pages over to profiling winners of the annual 4Talent Awards. In a nutshell: Still, slightly dismally, a relative novelty as a sketch show written by and starring women, Smack the Pony rendered such pat pigeon-holing irrelevant by simply being very funny. Flat-sharing protagonists awkward Mark (David Mitchell) and feckless Jeremy (Robert Webb) evolved scarcely a jot, remaining fundamentally awful yet oddly sympathetic. The channel was established to provide a fourth television service to the United Kingdom in addition to the licence-funded BBC One and BBC Two, and the single commercial broadcasting network ITV. [81], On 22 June 2020 Channel4+1 HD and 4Seven HD were removed from Freeview[82].

[53][54], In March 2005, Channel 4 screened the uncut Lars von Trier film The Idiots, which includes unsimulated sexual intercourse, making it the first UK terrestrial channel to do so. Nowadays it pays for itself in much the same way as most privately run commercial stations, i.e. Although largely commercially self-funded, it is ultimately publicly owned; originally a subsidiary of the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA),[2] the station is now owned and operated by Channel Four Television Corporation, a public corporation of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport,[3] which was established in 1990 and came into operation in 1993.

The remit changes periodically, as dictated by various broadcasting and communications acts, and is regulated by the various authorities Channel 4 has been answerable to; originally the IBA, then the ITC and now Ofcom. [60] There were 246 complaints to Ofcom as of 25 April 2007,[61] including allegations that the programme falsified data. Please continue to respect all commenters and create constructive debates. The blend of comedy and tragedy wasn’t always seamless, but when it worked it packed a punch like little else. In mid-2006 Channel 4 ran a six-month closed trial of HDTV, as part of the wider Freeview HD experiment via the Crystal Palace transmitter to London and parts of the home counties,[74] including the use of Lost and Desperate Housewives as part of the experiment, as US broadcasters such as ABC already have an HDTV back catalogue. The notion of a second commercial broadcaster in the United Kingdom had been around since the inception of ITV in 1954 and its subsequent launch in 1955; the idea of an "ITV2" was long expected and pushed for. [62] The programme has been criticised by scientists and scientific organisations, and various scientists who participated in the documentary claimed their views had been distorted. Following 2005, no branded section has been used for Schools programmes. Suffused with a sense of innocent mischief, it’s a charmingly amateur affair that laid the groundwork for the pair’s diverging subsequent careers in Hollywood (Cornish) and on the comedy circuit (Buxton).
