I just read that

"Channel 4 is pulling out of the controversial call-TV market by selling off Ostrich Media, its subsidiary that makes Quiz Call"
also good news

"The deal will not, however, include the channel's valuable Freeview slot. C4 will use this capacity to launch a new channel outside the call-TV market."
C4US anyone? I believe it will be that channel launching or maybe C4Music something like that since they have that big contract for e4 music in the morning. What do you think?

It is now Sold to iTouch the people behind the big brother voting, Quiz call will continue on Cable and Satallite but its leaving Freeview for good, the date it is set to leave is the 15th of November 2006 and in it's place is another channel from Channel 4 not confimed yet but they have already stated that it wouldn't just move its More4+1 service to Freeview.

What do you think will replace it then?

They've done some good documentary's so I wouldn't mind that plus they could buy more from outside the UK

True it is a shame they don't have enough money to stay free with just adverts on.

It is now broadcasting on FTN next thing you know it will be on channel 5 as well.
