E4

E4 is a digital television channel launched as a companion to Channel 4 on 18 January 2001. The "E" officially stands for entertainment and the channel is mainly aimed at the lucrative 18 - 35 age group. Programming includes US imports such as Friends, ER, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The West Wing and Desperate Housewives, sometimes premiering on E4 before being broadcast on Channel 4, plus lots of home-grown chat and reality shows.

Every year, whilst the Big Brother reality show airs, E4 devotes much of its schedule to programming such as live coverage from inside the house, interactive features that give access to additional camera angles within the house, Big Brother voting options and Big Brother "catch up" shows. Big Brother coverage is among the highest rating programming on the channel, and comes at a time when most of the years American imports have ended.
