There is also the completely separate "Channel Four", which was also set up originally with the goal of catering for "minority interest programmes", and that got vandalised as well.

It doesn't help that all the listings pages - including the Radio Times - stick Channel Four among the satellite and cable rubbish programmes. I suspect this is intentional, to ensure audiences don't pick up, becuase there are greedy people with their hands stretching out for them.

Also, calling it "BBC Four" when there already is a Channel Four and TV channels called E4 and FilmFour, plus a radio channel called Radio Four - well, wasn't that just a teeny bit stupid?
