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.

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
Big waste of £80m then ?
Does this mean more music tv and dross from the publishers of sad mag FHM ?!?

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.

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
One major difference between Channel 4 and MTV. Channel 4 plays music from time to time..

Re: Channel four tunes into Emap channels
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.

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.

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...
