FilmFour prior to going FTA

[nwtv2003]

I don’t recall knowing anyone that subscribed to FilmFour when it was behind a paywall. Put their motto put it bead, great films you know, and great films you don’t. It was a risk putting it free to air, but one that has paid off massively, and in all fairness they do still show some films you’ve not heard of.

My memory of FilmFour behind a paywall was then it was used as an overflow for Cricket when it clashed with the Racing. Having watched on analogue cable, they lifted the block from the channel in its daytime hours.
