4Fun

4Fun is a Euroish television channel that was originally launched in 2016, taking on it's current branding in 2023. It is the primary spin-off channel to the youth-oriented channel TV4, itself a sibling to TV3.

Like TV4, 4Fun targets a younger audience, specifically between 15 and 35 years old, and as the name suggests, primarily focuses itself on comedies, light entertainment and movies, although drama (comedy dramas, romantic dramas and science fiction in particular), reality shows and children's programmes do also appear in the schedules. It broadcasts a mix of new content and repeated content, both recent series and classic series from the 90s and 00s.

4Fun features a weekly Adult Swim block which runs from 11pm to 4am on Saturday nights, with various programmes from the block shown on the channel through the week. The channel also includes regular music video slots in addition to 3C Gold programming. The channel also provides editions of the news programme 60 Seconds on the half-hour, complimenting the top-of-the-hour format on TV4.

History
Highwire was originally launched on 8th February, 2016. The channel was intended as a male-oriented entertainment and lifestyle channel.

As part of the announcement in February 2023 that FOX would be relaunched in TV4 that March, plans were outlined for Highwire to be closed and rebranded as TV4 Extra. The initial basis for the channel was that it would repeat content as seen on the main TV4 days after it's original airing.

More information about the channel was revealed in October. The channel was renamed as 4Fun and was to feature a mix of "light hearted" and "addictive" series, both homegrown and international.

4Fun launched on Thursday 30th November 2023.
