Channel 4 +1 channel in the autumn
Published Tuesday, Jun 19 2007, 11:31 BST | By Joanne Oatts
Channel 4 is expected to launch a +1 time shift channel for its main channel, across all digital platforms in August, according to reports.
The news comes as chief executive Andy Duncan is to respond to Ofcom's report last week on Channel 4's funding, by defending its PSB contribution at today's Westminster Media Forum.
Duncan is likely to highlight to programming like Jamie's School Dinners, and Channel 4's contribution to the UK film industry through its commissions for Film4 and 4onDemand, as output that is not currently recognised in the existing PSB measures.
