The unused hours are now used for teleshopping.
The channel continued airing teleshopping, as well as a classic movie each night.
Film4 now, instead of closing down in downtime hours, instead broadcasts teleshopping or an animated caption stating it will return at 11:00.
Its first months' programming consisted of interactive programs, music videos, movie/music/media magazines, low-budget import shows, teleshopping, infomercials and (mainly regional) chat shows.
They can provide useful theme channels of 24-hour news services, special sports channels, special music channels and teleshopping channels; indeed, all that adds to the range of choice.
For example, the applicants for the pilot cable licences will be required to indicate what interactive services they would provide—services such as telebanking, teleshopping, and so on.
No doubt these will take time to develop fully; but we should not regard burglar alarms, meter readings, even telebanking and teleshopping, as the limit of their potential.
However, modern copper coaxial systems can carry 30 or more television channels and literally thousands of narrow band services such as teleshopping and audio.
