Hot on the heels of Film24 – okay before Film24, in fact – comes another movie channel: Movies 24. Just in case you hadn’t realised it was from the House of Hallmark, it’s showing only made-for-TV movies.
Meanwhile, Channel 4 has unveiled details of the new-look FilmFour which will re-launch as a free channel at 9pm on Sunday 23 July, starting with the free-to-air premiere of Lost in Translation.
It’s all go in TV movies land.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
