 Channel 4 & 4seven: Schedule Status & Listings
 31st January to 18th February 2022

SEASON RIGHTS: 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29
LISTINGS SOURCE: Channel4.com, Digiguide

Channel 4 are currently airing season 9 in the 5:30pm/6pm weekday slot - yep, it's now double bills Monday through Friday on C4.

On weekend mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we get season 2. Saturday is usually a repeat of the previous Sunday's episodes. Some, but not all, episodes from the weekday run also get repeats on the weekend. There's also a few episodes from season 21 in the mix.

The show returns to 4seven after a lengthy absence this week too, with repeats of both weekday and weekend episodes, usually very late on weekday nights, and sometimes also on Saturday afternoons.

Episodes starting between midnight and 5:30am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. Note that all episodes that air on Channel 4 are simulcast on Channel 4 HD and can be viewed one hour later on their timeshift service, Channel 4 +1.

LISTINGS SOURCE: Digiguide

Sky Showcase currently broadcast four episodes on weekdays: one at 5pm, then three from 6:30pm to 8pm. Sport coverage can reduce the number of episodes broadcast. Weekends are a little less predictable, but we usually get a decent number of episodes - usually between three and eight a day, spread across the morning, afternoon and evening.

Currently airing: season 18, in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm, plus Saturday evenings). Note that, for the first time in a while, there's not room for every episode to be part of that second run, so some episodes are skipped. Season 26 follows. There's also a love-themed Valentine's triple on the evening of Sunday 13th, repeated the next day, Monday 14th. See below for details.

The premiere run of Season 33 continues, with episode back to premiering in the traditional Sunday teatime slot. Timeslots vary slightly - see below for details. Each episode also gets an encore broadcast the following Friday - times also vary. The following are currently on deck:

  • "Treehouse of Horror XXXII" will be repeated Friday 4th at 8pm
  • "The Wayz We Were" on Sunday February 6th at 7pm, repeated Friday 11th at 6:30pm
  • "Lisa's Belly" on Sunday February 13th at 7pm, repeated Friday 11th at 8pm

Note that episodes starting between midnight and 5:30am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides.
