Channel 4 gets personal with 4oD relaunch

Channel 4 is all set to relaunch its on-demand service at the end of the month, with 4oD getting a significant makeover.

The service has been around for a good five years now but has never reached the heady heights of the iPlayer. Channel 4 knows this and that is why it has rebuilt 4oD, adding more personalisation and much-needed features like predictive search and recommendations.

At the heart of these changes is My 4oD, a section of the service that allows users, once registered, to add in their programme preferences and help them manage their on-demand experience.

This essentially means building playlists, having access to viewing history.

Other features include better full-page viewing and optimised site navigation when you are in the middle of watching a programme.

The new redesign will debut 31 August and there will be a dedicated iOS app in September.
