Channel 4+1 is a time-shift television channel that broadcasts the complete programming schedule of Channel 4 exactly one hour after its original transmission. This TV guide provides an overview of how to navigate the Channel 4+1 schedule, check listings for today and tonight, and stay informed about upcoming broadcasts, popular show genres, and regional viewing options.
About Channel 4+1
Channel 4+1 is operated by Channel 4 Television Corporation, a publicly owned, commercially funded public service broadcaster based in the United Kingdom. Launched to give viewers a second chance to watch linear broadcasts, the channel mirrors the main Channel 4 schedule with a precise one-hour delay.
Because Channel 4+1 broadcasts identical content to Channel 4—shifted by 60 minutes—it offers access to the broadcaster's full range of public service programming. This includes news and current affairs, original British dramas, imported series, documentaries, comedy, feature films, and reality television. Regional variations on the main channel are also mirrored on Channel 4+1 according to local broadcast areas.
Using the Channel 4+1 TV Guide
A reliable TV guide helps viewers plan their daily entertainment and keep track of broadcast times across different days. Because Channel 4+1 operates on a strict one-hour offset, calculating program times relative to the main channel is straightforward: a show airing at 8:00 PM on Channel 4 will air at 9:00 PM on Channel 4+1.
When reviewing the schedule, listings typically display the following details for each entry:
- Broadcast Time: The exact local start and end time for each program on Channel 4+1.
- Program Title: The name of the show, film, or news broadcast.
- Episode Information: Series and episode numbers, along with short synopsis details when available.
