Farewell TV4ME via Seven, December 1, 2011 to May 18, 2016. You certainly will not be missed!
But aside from that commentary, I wonder if Seven might do a reshuffle of the LCNs once 4ME is pulled off for good? I’m also hoping means we’re one step closer to getting Seven HD in Sydney, Brisbane/Gold Coast and Perth but I’m not holding my breath for that!
While I agree that many will not miss 4ME from our screens, it was one of the datacast channels that actually did have some non-infomercial content in it.
Don’t know about you guys but I’m really going to miss Call and Win. It was a truly interactive experience, in that they interactively managed to rob me of about $200 when a mate thought it would be fun to redial the 1900 number a few hundred times to guess a fucking matchstick puzzle.
The match sticks were my favourite puzzle, I hate the envelope ones as they’re always really obsecure answers. That show is still on Expo via Foxtel or if you’re super desperate you can watch it online from their website haha.
I think the spare spectrum may be reserved for multichannels covering live sports of the Rio Olympic Games. After the Games the spectrum could be transferred to 7HD.
Interesting. Maybe 4ME might disappear on a market by market basis?
Of course, I can confirm that it’s definitely off the multiplex in Sydney - “TV4ME” no longer appears after a rescan while the other Seven Network channels do.
