25/04/03 Time-shift channel for E4 in July

Channel 4's commercial arm, 4 Ventures, has unveiled plans to launch a time-shifted version of its fast-growing digital entertainment channel, E4. E4 +1 will launch on Sky Digital in July this year. Negotiations are being concluded with all platforms for EPG/channel numbers, which will be publicised in due course. The time-shifted channel will carry an identical schedule to E4 but will begin broadcasting an hour later each day between 3pm and 5am. Dan Brooke, Managing Director of 4 Channels, said: "E4's viewers are young and upmarket with busy lifestyles, so the launch of a second, time-shifted version of E4 will give them greater flexibility to catch their favourite E4 shows. For a limited investment this time-shifted channel will cement E4's rapid audience growth in digital homes and broaden our offering to advertisers."

E4 repeats so much of its content anyway, what's the point of a + 1 channel ??
