T4 - the successful youth zone created by Andi Peters which occupies Sunday mornings on Channel 4 and houses Dawson's Creek and the Hollyoaks omnibus - will go to five nights a week. Presumably with plenty of cross-promotion. Though C4 chief executive Michael Jackson confirmed the go-ahead at last week's press launch, there was more than a touch of a wing and a prayer in his presentation. Success depends on distribution, getting E4 into as many of the 9m multi-channel homes in the UK and Ireland in January.
Deals with Telewest and ONdigital are said to be imminent. Just like Sky One, E4 is a hybrid pay service. The amount of pence per subscriber varies from service to service, and fixing this tariff and getting the channel on to basic subscription packages together provide scope for endless haggling.
Negotiations with Sky - by far the largest distributor - have inevitably been coloured by the fact that Sky One is E4's main rival. Gerry Bastable, head of Channel 4's pay TV team, says he "expects" the channel to be on all platforms. Until we firmed up our plans, it was difficult for us to give them chapter and verse.
There's a long tradition of terrestrial broadcasters not really cracking it. We've tried to learn from their mistakes. Though there have been rumours of joint venture discussions with partners ranging from Paramount Comedy Channel to Warner Brothers and of course Sky, Channel 4 is currently going ahead with E4 as a wholly-owned venture Emap is a partner in the E4 website.
Significantly, though, Bastable says a partner has not been ruled out. A deal would allow Channel 4 to recoup its investment more quickly and harness Sky's formidable marketing and subscription team the people who ring you up at home and ask if you'd like to subscribe to Film Four. Well how about a free three-month trial?
