Presently, Channel 4 main offerings to the public are as follows: Channel 4 General Entertainment. Quiz programmes such as Countdown And Deal Or No Deal have been mainstays of television for many years, whilst the channels news and factual output (Dispatches) is comparable to both the BBCs news and Panorama programme. The channel also pioneered the concept of late night entertainment in the UK, with shows like Terry Christians The Word making the later hours of the evening less of a television graveyard. E4 Student-Orientated Entertainment. The channel was once known for its near-constant repeats of US sitcom Friends, but has become known in recent years for popular original youth programmes such as Skins and the Inbetweeners, as well as being the channel on which American sitcoms such as The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, New Girl, Glee and Scrubs have made their debuts. More4 Adult-Orientated Entertainment. Much of the channel is dedicated to repeats of the likes of cookery and property shows that originally aired on the main channel, though there is also a growing amount of documentaries and original arts programming. In the past, the channel has also aired a number of excellent American imports such as the West Wing and the Sopranos. 4Music Music Programming. As the only dedicated music channel available on Freeview, this channel serves as a popular source of background noise in student communal areas and similar environments. It frequently airs both new music and interviews with the artists that create it. Film4 Film Programming. As the only dedicated film channel available on Freeview, Film4 is the only channel that allows many households to indulge in their passions for cinema on a regular basis. Each of these caters to a different demographic, allowing the company to offer programming that attracts viewers of all ages and lifestyles. The BBC and ITV also offer four main channels, but struggle to appeal to such a wide audience with anything other than their primary channels, BBC1 and ITV1. The BBC succeeds as a provider of quality highbrow programming (such as foreign language dramas, nature documentaries and the like) with BBC2 and BBC4, but generally falls flat with most of its attempts to appeal to younger viewers, as nearly all of BBC3s original commissions have struggled to attract viewers, though its frequent airings of Family Guy have proved successful. ITV, meanwhile, is the dominant force in reality programming, but two of its three digital channels (ITV3 and ITV4) have next-to-nothing in the way of original programming, focusing on repeats of shows from the 70s, 80s and 90s whilst the other (ITV2), has a number of shows that garner mass appeal but places significant emphasis on companion shows to programmes that air on its main channel.
