Countdown transmission times
Countdown is currently broadcast by Channel 4 from 15:10 to 16:00 British Time on Mondays to Fridays most weeks throughout the year. The usual exceptions are: public holidays, when times may vary; the Christmas / New Year break; race meetings such as the Cheltenham Festival and Glorious Goodwood, when Channel 4 suspends Countdown in order to provide extensive coverage of these events.
In addition to the +1 channel, most programmes are repeated twice:
- At 16:45 British Time on 4seven on the day of original broacast.
- Early mornings on Channel 4 at around 05:00, about 60 hours after first transmission.
Countdown programmes used to have an additional repeat showing on More4, but this practice stopped at the end of 2008.
They were also given a showing on S4C a few days after the first Channel 4 transmission, but this ended with the completion of the digital switchover in Wales in March 2010 (at which point S4C ceased broadcast of Channel 4 programmes, since Channel 4 is now available throughout Wales).
Programmes can, however, be watched using 4oD, Channel 4's on-demand service, at any time up to thirty days after the first transmission.
