Channel 4 - Brekkie - 03-12-2021
Maybe that's what they mean - you tune in to watch something and they'll randomly show you something "Altogether Different".

I agree. Everything these days has to be spun into saying something that's contrived
It's been decades since I've heard the phrase 'due to circumstances beyond our control'

In related news, the 'altogether different' promo is on such high rotation it's starting to feel more than a little cringey.
Perhaps they are operating on the basis that if you say something often enough it becomes the truth?

In the broadcast-adjacent world of telecoms, Openreach uses "matters beyond our reasonable control" when they've declared that they simply cannot hope to meet any of their service level agreements, e.g. storm damage taking out a ton of infrastructure or when COVID hit the workforce, so their customers (the communications providers, not end users) can set expectations accordingly

It's not like they can come out and say something like "Sue in playout accidently deleted the file". Although E4 probably would.
Guess there is no word when they'll play the displaced episodes. Monday morning probably the earliest realistic opportunity - tomorrow afternoon they're airing many of their Christmas classics, which presumably gets them on All4 for the month.
Channel 4 - Andrew Wood - 04-12-2021
This may have been mentioned elsewhere, but Christmas idents are now being aired as well as the trailers.
Channel 4 - Torpido1 - 05-12-2021
Presumerably doing some work in relation to the ongoing technical issues which are being resolved slowly and having new programmes on was a bit risky in case they lost them again at some point maybe
Channel 4 - CCFG - 05-12-2021
C4 are showing The Snowman very early this year. Today at 15:30. Preceded by Father Christmas. The Snowman and the Snowdog straight after.
Channel 4 - Brekkie - 05-12-2021
They did the same last year - I assume it's so they can go up on All4 in the run up to Christmas under the guise of it being a catch up from the last 30 days.
A real shame to see C4 put an ad break in both Father Christmas and The Snowman - I don't think they've done that before.
Channel 4 - Brekkie - 05-12-2021
Fresh from winning two awards for last years Clown ident I think C4 have bettered it with the new Abominable Snow Baby ident this afternoon.

Yes as Brekkie said they did this last year, looking at the confirmed schedules Channel 4 have the The Bear, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, Father Christmas, The Snowman & The Snowman and the Snowdog on Saturday 18th December, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Tonight's episode of Close To Me on C4 was in 5.1 audio except the 15 min portion between the second and third ad breaks (at least it was via Sky)
Channel 4 - IdentFan101 - 05-12-2021
I bet Channel 4 will have early morning showings of the 2 SpongeBob movies and the 3 Rugrats movies during the Christmas period again.

At least they’ve stopped showing the cropped 16:9 version.
