Kanal 4 (Dryicor)

Kanal 4 is a Dryicoran television channel launched in 1985. Owned by the Dryicoran Government as a public service broadcaster, it still receives the vast majority of its income from commercial activities.

Kanal 4 is, under the Broadcasting Act, 1984, banned from producing its own programmes, and as such is required to outsource its programmes from independent production companies, unlike the BOD Studios or DTV Productions. It has a reputation for more alternative comedy, and "took risks", much like its UK counterpart.

Kanal 4 broadcasts in Finnish and Norwegian, and is free-to-air, coming preinstalled on all Terrevision television sets.

History
Kanal 4 was created by the Broadcasting Act, 1984, allowing Dryicorans a fourth TV channel. The first continuity announcement was made by Denis Walston, before its first programme, Countdown, was aired.
