E4 is a British digital television channel launched as a pay-tv companion to Channel 4 on 18 January 2001. The "E" officially stands for entertainment, and the channel is mainly aimed at the lucrative 18 - 35 age group. Programming includes US imports such as Friends, ER, The O.C., The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Desperate Housewives, Scrubs and Lost, plus lots of home-grown chat and reality shows. Some of the imports are screened on E4 ahead of their Channel 4 broadcasts.
Every year, whilst the Big Brother game show airs, E4 devotes much of its schedule to Big Brother programming such as live coverage from inside the house, interactive features that give access to additional camera angles within the house, Big Brother voting options and Big Brother "catch up" shows (i.e., repeats). Big Brother coverage is among the highest rating programming on the channel, and comes at a time when most of the year's American imports have ended.
On 16 December 2004, Channel 4 announced that it would move the subscription channel to digital terrestrial television. It was a part of the Top Up TV subscription scheme until 27 May 2005, when the channel joined Freeview and became free-to-air. This decision was made in the hope of attracting a larger audience and increasing advertising revenue.
In May 2005, E4 began to air "First Look", offering viewers the opportunity to watch an episode of programs such as Hollyoaks and drama series in advance of their airdate on Channel 4.
In August 2005, E4 became a 24 hour channel with the introduction to E4 Music.
In October 2005, More4 was unveiled alongside E4 to complement Channel 4's digital channels. The West Wing has since been moved exclusively to More4.sv:E4 (TV-kanal)
