Channel 4, in common with the other main British stations which were broadcast on analogue, airs a range of programming. It was established in 1982 with a specific intention of providing programming to groups of minority interests, not catered for by its competitors, which at the time were only the BBC and ITV. Channel 4 was one of the first "publisher-broadcaster" stations in the world. All of its programming is produced by other companies; it exists only to fund, broadcast and distribute its programmes – a stipulation which is included in its licence to broadcast. It was also one of the first broadcasters to put its name on the introduction or end credits of programmes that it did not produce, a practice that is now widespread. == Animation == The channel has established a tradition of broadcasting the animated film of Briggs's picture book ''The Snowman'', which in 1982 was the new channel's first major animated commission, every Christmas. The channel also commissioned early work by Nick Park and Aardman Animation. Other notable animations include: * ''Bob & Margaret'' and the original Oscar winning short, ''Bob's Birthday'' * ''Bromwell High'' * ''The KNTV Show'' And imported animations: *''Bob's Burgers'', on E4 * ''The Cleveland Show'', on E4 * ''Family Guy'', now on BBC Three * ''Futurama'', now on Sky1, Sky2 and Pick TV * ''King of the Hill'', now on 4Music *''Napoleon Dynamite, on E4 * ''The Ricky Gervais Show'', on E4 * ''The Simpsons'', previously shown on BBC One and BBC Two, also shown on Sky1 and Sky2 * ''South Park'', now shown on Comedy Central, VIVA and MTV 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Channel 4 programming」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
