More4 buys The Daily Show rights

The second Channel 4 spin-off channel (after E4) seems to be picking up a bit of press as it moves towards its October launch.


 

Putting a show about David Blunkett seems to have garnered a few column inches, anyway.


hitherto:

So this would be "the new, upmarket channel" from C4?


blech:

So Brand Republic says.


 

The free-to-view digital channel has a public service focus like rival BBC4, while aiming to be less highbrow.

hitherto:

That kind of branding can go horribly wrong. I mean "BBC4 but less highbrow" is BBC2, which C4 is kinda supposed to be like. and E4 is slightly less highbrow than that.


 

All I see is a big mess of brows.


 

They should rebrand it as "E4 but with gold taps in the bathroom"


 

(although kudos for getting the Daily Show)


The:

Just how many fours do we need? I think we've enough now given we've got BBC Four, BBC Radio 4, C4, E4 (&E4+1), FilmFour(&FilmFour+1), FilmFour Weekly, Sky Movies 4 and soon More4 & ITV4.


blech:

Do you have a fear of fours?
