Identify the subject before the access route
A network name does not always identify the national or regional feed. Match the channel edition, language and programme time.
ITV1
Identify ITV1’s mainstream programmes and distinguish an ITVX regional stream from the regional edition received through television.
ITV2
Find ITV2 reality and comedy programmes after the ITVBe move, keeping a franchise, series and individual episode distinct.
ITV3
Identify ITV3 British drama and archive editions, including why an older programme may keep bars at the sides of the picture.
ITV4
Distinguish ITV4 live sport, event sessions, highlights and sport-related factual programmes before choosing what to watch.
Channel 4
Identify Channel 4’s publicly owned commercial model, main television channel and wider episode-led streaming service.
E4
Choose between E4’s comedy, drama and entertainment and More4’s lifestyle-based factual programmes within Channel 4’s family.
U&Dave (formerly Dave)
Identify U&Dave’s comedy and factual entertainment, and distinguish a new commission from an episode already available to watch.
