Product placement is where a company pays a TV channel or a programme-maker/production company to include its products or brands in a programme. As of February 2011, Ofcom has approved product placement in TV programmes specifically made for UK audiences as long as this placement complies with the Ofcom rules.

You’ll know a programme has product placement as the special ‘P’ logo will be shown at the start, after each ad break and at the end of the programme.
However, we don’t need to show this logo if the programme was originally broadcast outside of the UK (i.e. US originated programming).

Channel 4 commission and buy programmes but don't produce any in-house. Consequently, there are no celebrities working in our offices. For this reason, we're unable to forward e-mails directly to Channel 4 talent and don't have access to photographs or autographs. You would be best to search on the internet for a Fan Club to whom you could forward your mail.

Programme listings are sent to press two weeks in advance of transmission for all our channels. Until schedules are released to the press, the information is sensitive and embargoed. This policy applies equally to repeats and first showings. So, if you can’t find details of your favourite programme in your TV listing magazine, EPG or on our website, it is not scheduled and we are unable to confirm when it will be.
