TV programme on shipwrecks tonight (26 April)

[Ron Clifton]

There is a programme at 9pm tonight on More4 (channel 18 in most regions)about some of the world's "greatest shipwrecks". Tonight, in the first episode of a new series, they are looking at the wrecks of HMS Hampshire and HMS Vanguard, both sunk during the Great War.

Do you have to have a BBC licence to watch?

[Gardenerbill]

Yes because it's not a BBC license, it's a TV license that also provides a subsidy to Channel 4 and More 4 is part of their output.

Thank you, Gb.

[johnboy]

Thanks for that

[Gardenerbill]

Hmm, seems I got that wrong, Channel 4 is government owned but commercially funded. However as it is a terrestrial service you still need a license.
