Channel four tunes into Emap channels
 

Channel 4 bosses are close to taking control of a clutch of music TV stations owned by struggling Grazia and FHM publisher Emap.


The deal, believed to be worth around £80m, would mark a major expansion for C4, making it the main competitor to MTV in the UK. It is expected to be announced in the next few weeks.

Big waste of £80m then ?
Does this mean more music tv and dross from the publishers of sad mag FHM ?!?
:td:

Music tv channels are worth money??

On who's planet?

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
 

I enjoy many (not all though) of the music channels - if C4 think they're worth paying, then they will pay it. If you can't say anything constructive and just sprout out dross, then I'd suggest you don't post - both of you.

One major difference between Channel 4 and MTV. Channel 4 plays music from time to time..

I have the right to an opinion, and a right to express it. "dross" is only your opinion, and as to not posting, I don't take orders, sonny.

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
 

Don't get your back up, I made a perfectly valid point. Oh and don't go calling me sonny please, I don't like it.

I'm nearly twice your age, what else am I meant to call you?:D

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
 

Sir? :p

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
 

Nah..

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
 

Its the same as someone calling me 'pal' or 'mate' - I find that quite insulting.

You could call me sir actually, that would be a nice power-trip! ;)

Anyway, back OT - £80m may seem rather a lot to pay for a few music channels, but with £1 a time to call up and select your video (which I would never do) I bet they make a tidy couple of quid...

Guys, can we at least try and talk about Channel 4, music or EMAP?

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
 

Any more pointless/off topic posts will be deleted and the poster given a warning, stick to the subject.

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
 

Already brought it back on topic, lol! Does anyone know what channels EMAP own at present anyway?

Not as extensive as I thought then, thought they would have owned UR, Flaunt and the others as well (not that I bother listening to either of those channels anyway).
