Channel 4 has announced that it is axing the T4 brand. The broadcaster will continue to screen the current weekend programming - produced by Shine's Princess Productions - until December, when it will be replaced with a new music-driven format.
[T4 presenters Rick Edwards and Miquita Oliver with Hugh Jackman] T4 was launched in 1998, and over the course of its 14-year history has helped to kick start the presenting careers of names including Dermot O'Leary, Simon Amstell, Alexa Chung and new BBC Radio 1 breakfast show host Nick Grimshaw. Since 2005 the brand - which targeted the 16-24 demographic - also staged its own annual music festival T4 On The Beach. It was preceded by the Popbeach event in 2003 and 2004. T4 recently moved from Channel 4 to sister station E4, and is said to have been dropped as part of a move to refresh the network's youth programming. (more)...

Pamela Bach has taken aim at her former husband David Hasselhoff, accusing him of snubbing her in public and dating more than one woman.
The actress split from the former Baywatch star in 2006 after 16 years of marriage, but they've struggled to remain on friendly terms since their divorce.
Now Bach has hit out at her ex, claiming he has "other" women apart from his Welsh girlfriend Hayley Roberts and accusing him of ordering his aides to keep Bach away from him at public events.
She tells Britain's Ok! magazine, "We should (speak) because (our daughters) shouldn't be put in the middle. At their recent T4 On The Beach concert (in the U.K.) he didn't even say hello.
"I ran up to see my girls but before I got to them a woman who works with David stopped me and said: 'David doesn't want you around.' I said: 'Excuse me, sweetheart, I didn't come here to see David, I came here to see my daughters.'... I admire him. He's the father of my children and I will always love him for that. But he's just not friendly to me right now."
Asked her opinion of Roberts, Bach replies, "Which one? She's the girl he's showing to the press but I know there are others in America. It's funny he did those Baywatch pictures with her, maybe he should do a shoot for something more current - Baywatch ended eight years ago (sic)."...
