4seven (commonly stylised as 47) is a British free-to-air television channel owned by Channel Four Television Corporation. According to Channel 4, it was created in response to its viewers demanding Channel 4 to broadcast old programming from the network. Its programming focuses on Channel 4's top rated programmes.

 

4seven launched on 4 July, 2012 with 20 hours of content in the schedule per day. In the 8.00 pm and 10.00 pm slots the channel broadcasts a repeat of shows from the previous day that have created a critical buzz in newspapers, chatter on social media through Twitter and Facebook and reaction on the overnight log of comments kept by the broadcaster. The 11.00 pm slot is used to repeat the programme shown on Channel 4 at 9.00 pm, which airs again on 4seven at 9.00 pm the following day. The rest of the programmes on 4seven are repeats of the most popular ones of the last several days. Weekends are devoted to multiple repeats of the best-rated and/or highest viewed programmes of the past seven days on Channel 4.
