Countdown transmission times
Countdown is broadcast by Channel 4 at 15:25 on Mondays to Fridays most weeks throughout the year. The usual exceptions are during public holidays, when times might vary, and during the Christmas / New Year break and the Cheltenham Festival and Glorious Goodwood race weeks when the programme is suspended. In 2008 there is to be a summer break following the programme on Friday 25th July, restarting on Monday 25th August.
In addition to all of the +1 channels, most programmes are repeated on three occasions:
- on More4 at around 03:00 on the night immediately following the first transmission
- on Channel 4 at around 05:15 in the early morning, two and half days after the first transmission
- on S4C (terrestrial channel only) at 14:15 on Monday to Friday afternoons, currently ten working days after the first transmission.
More4 and the early morning Channel 4 repeat times vary slightly from day to day.
The actual date on which a programme is repeated on S4C may vary, depending on channel scheduling. The ten day delay is correct on 14th July 2008. S4C repeats will not take place from Monday 21st July for four days due to coverage of The Royal Welsh Show, and again from Tuesday 29th July for four days due to coverage of Glorious Goodwood, and so the delay will probably then increase.
In addition, programmes can be watched using 4oD, Channel 4's on-demand service, at any time up to four weeks after the first transmission.
