Channel 4 announced today (13 June) that 4music will become E4 Extra on June 29th with a focus on entertainment and comedy reruns, while Box Hits will become 4music on the same day, focusing just on music: E4 Brand extension sees 4Music become E4 Extra | Channel 4

Got a feeling this could be things to come for their music portfolio.

@smurph69 Haven't looked in a while but does 4music still have music or is it all reality shows like MTV?

@redsky88

Mostly sitcoms but a few hours of music in the morning and then a few other c4 shows like 8 out of 10 cats, taskmaster, and don't tell the bride

4Music is being renamed to E4 Extra, and Box Hits being renamed 4Music.

"From 29th June, E4 Extra will focus on comedy and entertainment and be home to scripted and unscripted acquisitions like Batwoman, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, Ninja Warrior Japan and Undercover Boss USA, as well as audience favourites like Big Bang Theory, The Inbetweeners and Derry Girls."

The problem is those programs moving to E4 extra were in HD on E4 but the 4music channel is dreadful picture quality, even for SD!

I think that's probably more to do with the age of the programmes. The music videos are fine.

Maybe they will be available On Demand in HD. This is what happens with 5STAR.

@Chloe-W22 BBC RB HD and BBC RB 1 are HD swapped, so it should read:

BBC RB HD       981/987
BBC RB 1            987/981

[jamesrobinson6]

The DEFAULT numbers are what are published here. The swap is a smart swap and not the actual number the channels are on.

In order for it to work swap info is carried on both channels in question in order for them to be transposed on the channel list you actually see.

Hope that answers your point

Not really, take this example from January 2022. You can clearly see both numbers for Sky Cinema Action.
