4Music launches today, but not on Freesat!

Channels, Sky 36 Comments »

4Music on FreesatC4’s new dedicated music channel launches today on Sky, Virgin Media and Freeview, but why not Freesat?

Contracts contracts contracts!!!

We can only assume that 4Music has fallen foul of Sky’s never ending contract over some C4 channels. When will C4 finally break free? When will Freesat be treated as an equal satellite platform?

So how long can we expect to wait until 4Music comes to Freesat? Anyone’s guess, no one seems to know the in’s and out’s of Sky’s contract with C4, we can only hope it expiries soon and Freesat push C4 and Five’s channels to the top of the list for inclusion on the EPG.

One things for sure, when Freesat finally get all C4 and Five’s channels, plus a PVR, its going to be a fantastic platform, not just a great one!
