More4 TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On More4 Tonight

Published: 15 September 2026

More4 is Channel 4’s factual and lifestyle channel: property shows, food formats and the fly-on-the-wall documentaries that would crowd out the main channel’s schedule. It launched on 10 October 2005 and has been free to air since 6 May 2008, when it dropped the subscription requirement it had briefly carried on satellite. Wednesday 16 September 2026 opens primetime with two Grand Designs episodes from 6:50pm, then two more episodes of 24 Hours in A&E run back to back from 9pm, before the night closes on 9/11: 102 Minutes That Changed America at 11:05pm — full listings are below, with channel numbers further down the page.

What’s on More4 today

Wednesday’s More4 schedule leans heavily on a handful of returning strands repeated many times over, and daytime is almost entirely given over to the same property and food formats as usual.

Overnight, 999: On the Front Line opens the schedule just after midnight, then two 24 Hours in A&E episodes and Supermarkets Unwrapped: The Vegan Aisle carry things through to the High Street shopping strand from 3:50am.

Four in a Bed then runs five episodes back to back from 8:55am, Come Dine with Me follows with five more through to 2:15pm, and a further five Four in a Bed episodes fill the afternoon, before two Car S.O.S. episodes run into tonight’s primetime. See below.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Wednesday 16 September 2026.

Grand Designs — More4, 6:50pm & 7:55pm

Two episodes of Kevin McCloud’s self-build strand open the evening back to back, the first a repeat from series 23 and the second dipping back into series 12.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 9pm & 10pm

A further pair of episodes from the King’s College/St George’s/Queen’s Medical Centre documentary follow at 9pm and 10pm, continuing series 18.

9/11: 102 Minutes That Changed America — More4, 11:05pm

The night closes on a historical documentary piecing together how the morning of 11 September 2001 unfolded in New York and Washington DC, built from contemporaneous news footage and radio traffic. It runs well past midnight, so it’s worth checking the on-screen guide before settling in.

What kind of shows are on More4

Fly-on-the-wall documentary

This is the strand More4 is known for. 24 Hours in A&E and 999: On the Front Line both use the same method: fixed cameras, real emergencies, no reconstructions. Neither has changed that formula in over a decade of running.

Property and food formats

A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me anchor the daytime and early-evening schedule. One is about the fantasy of starting again somewhere warmer; the other is about strangers cooking for each other and being far too honest about the results. Four in a Bed does the same job for the B&B trade. Between them they account for most of what More4 broadcasts before 6pm.

Imported drama and classic comedy

More4 also fills gaps with imported crime drama, a fair amount of Nordic noir, and repeats from Channel 4’s own sitcom back-catalogue. It’s schedule filler between the factual strands rather than anything the channel commissions for itself.

How to watch More4

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find More4 across the main UK television platforms:

More4 is free on all of the above, with no subscription required.

Streaming online

More4 streams live and free at channel4.com/now/m4 and via the Channel 4 app on smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and PlayStation. You’ll need a free Channel 4 account, which costs nothing to set up. Recent episodes of most More4 shows are also available to watch on demand through Channel 4’s streaming platform shortly after broadcast.

More4 +1 and sister channels

More4 +1 runs the schedule an hour behind on Virgin Media, channel 347, but was withdrawn from Freeview back in June 2022. If you miss the start of something on Freeview, the Channel 4 on-demand service is the more reliable way to catch up.

More4 sits alongside Channel 4’s other free channels: the main Channel 4 service, E4 (entertainment and US imports), Film4 (movies) and 4seven (catch-up repeats).

Frequently asked questions

What’s on More4 tonight?

Two Grand Designs episodes open primetime from 6:50pm, then two 24 Hours in A&E episodes run from 9pm, and the night closes on 9/11: 102 Minutes That Changed America from 11:05pm. No film on More4 tonight. Full times are in the schedule table above.

What time do the main documentaries start on More4?

More4’s documentary strands usually sit between 9pm and 11pm, after the property shows have had the earlier part of the evening. A new series launch or a one-off special can push that earlier, so check the on-screen guide if the evening looks different from usual.

Is More4 free to watch?

Yes, completely free on Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat, with advertising breaks but no subscription fee.

Can I watch More4 online for free?

Yes. It streams live at channel4.com/now/m4 and through the Channel 4 app; you’ll need a free Channel 4 account. Most recent episodes also appear on demand shortly after broadcast.

Verdict

More4 doesn’t try to be flashy, and that’s the point. It’s where Channel 4 parks programming that works without gimmicks: a B&B owner docking marks over a soggy fry-up, or a family showing off a self-build years in the making. Today’s daytime leans hard on that formula, with Four in a Bed and Come Dine with Me running fifteen episodes between them before Car S.O.S. and primetime even arrive.

Primetime has a clearer shape than usual: two Grand Designs episodes lead into a further pair of 24 Hours in A&E episodes from 9pm, and the night closes on 9/11: 102 Minutes That Changed America, a historical documentary revisiting the September 2001 attacks. It’s a heavier close than the channel’s usual rhythm, but otherwise a solid evening for anyone after factual TV.
