Channel 4 news relationship with Sri Lankan Government[edit]

"The plight of Tamil children was raised by Unicef spokesman James Elder, who has just been expelled from the country after being accused by the government of spreading Tamil Tiger propaganda," the broadcast said.

Prof. Rajiva Wijesinghe, secretary of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights blames Channel-4 of "ridiculous behavior" and that Colombo would not invite Channel-4 to Sri Lanka to tour the camps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.33.178.14 (talk) 22:54, 9 September 2009 (UTC) [reply]

"Following the broadcast of shocking video footage showing Sri Lanka Government soldiers executing Tamils stripped naked and hands tied behind their backs, British Television Channel-4 Monday Sept,7,2009 revealed a new film that showed Tamil "victims of Sri Lanka's war suffering poor conditions in UN-funded camps." The new footage, allegedly taken by a mobile phone, was sent to Channel-4 from the group War Without Witness, and was reportedly shot two weeks ago in Vavuniyaa, in northern Sri Lanka, where more than 300,000 Tamils are being interned in Sri Lanka military supervised camps. Sri Lanka's spokesperson, while insisting that United Nations is active inside there [the camps], responded that the malnutrition statistics reflect "Western standards," indeed malnutrition is present in other parts of Sri Lanka, and also that the situation was worse under the Liberation Tigers.

"The plight of Tamil children was raised by Unicef spokesman James Elder, who has just been expelled from the country after being accused by the government of spreading Tamil Tiger propaganda," the broadcast said.

Disambiguation needed[edit]

A disambiguation page is needed, since this name has been used for newscasts in two major American cities, New York and Los Angeles. Spotteddogsdotorg 04:52, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Both of which combined are smaller than Channel 4's service area and each of which indivdiually are far smaller than Channel 4's service area. And both are on channels not legally called Channel 4. --Kiand 19:55, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not widescreen[edit]

Why is this still shown is 4:3? I have to keep adjusting the aspect ratio when this comes on otherwise Krishnan Guru-Murthy ends up looking a bit too chunky. Jooler 01:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Independents Fund[edit]

It would be interesting to have some details of their Independents Fund mentioned here [1]. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 21:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anchor[edit]

Jon Snow and the rest are listed on the credits as presenters not anchors. Anchor is an American term, why is it used for Channel 4?--Alchemist Jack (talk) 11:12, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1 Direction Controversy[edit]

I am going to remove the whole section on the current 'Crazy about One Direction' controversy. As it stands, it's entirely unsourced, somewhat rambling and confused, and appears to be written with a distinct POV. It may be that in the next day or two some mainstream news sources cover this, and a useful couple of line summary can be added with decent tertiary sources, but for now this is too far from being encyclopaedic.

Head of news and current affairs at Channel 4[edit]

I think that this article should mention the management team. Last time I heard, Dorothy Byrne was head of news and current affairs at Channel 4. The article doesn't mention her. TraceyR (talk) 16:15, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
