Channel 4 is to start broadcasting commissioned programmes simultaneously via
broadband as well as it's terrestrial channel broadband, making it the first
major UK broadcaster to do so.
The new service will be launched on June 27th and will be available from the
channel 4 website, but will not include films or selected programmes such as
Lost or Desperate Housewives. But it will be including the adverts, although it
hopes to offer advertising opportunities on the service once it has been
established.
"I don’t see the digital revolution as an attack on Channel 4’s power
as a public broadcaster. I see it as a fantastic opportunity to build on
what Channel 4 has always done - stimulate, infuriate, debate, create."
"The difference is we’re doing it in many more ways than just via
broadcast these days, because we have to engage with the public wherever
they are." |
