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

Published: 22 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 23 September 2026 runs a Dog House double bill into primetime, then Scotland’s Golden Coast holds 9pm, before two 24 Hours in A&E episodes close the evening from 10pm. 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, Emergency Helicopter Medics leads into two 24 Hours in A&E episodes, then Food Unwrapped and the High Street shopping strand carry things through to breakfast.

Five Four in a Bed episodes run through the morning from 8:55am, five Come Dine with Me episodes fill the late morning and early afternoon, and a second run of five Four in a Bed episodes follows from 2:15pm. Two Car S.O.S episodes carry the schedule into early evening ahead of tonight’s Dog House double bill. See below.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Wednesday 23 September 2026.

The Dog House — More4, 6:50pm

Series 1, episode 6 opens the evening with another visit to the rehoming centre, matching a dog with a family who need to convince the assessors they’re the right fit.

The Dog House — More4, 7:55pm

Episode 7 follows straight after, a second helping of the same format before the schedule turns properly factual for the rest of the night.

Scotland’s Golden Coast — More4, 9pm

Series 1, episode 1 holds 9pm. It’s flagged as a new episode and numbered as the opener of its own run, which points to a genuine series launch rather than a returning strand, though the channel’s own listings are the final word on that.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 10pm

Series 21, episode 2 moves into the emergency department, the channel’s longest-standing documentary brand returning to its usual late slot.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 11:05pm

Episode 3 closes out the night straight after, back to back with the previous hour’s instalment.

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.

More4 leans harder on returning formats than almost any channel on Freeview. Over 48 days we counted Four in a Bed 437 times here — an average of nine showings a day — from a run of 39 distinct programmes. See our study of repeats on UK television for the full channel-by-channel numbers.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What’s on More4 tonight?

A Dog House double bill opens primetime from 6:50pm, then Scotland’s Golden Coast holds 9pm. Two 24 Hours in A&E episodes close the night from 10pm. 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 paramedics talking a family through the worst hour of their week. Today’s daytime leans hard on the property-and-food formula, with Four in a Bed and Come Dine with Me accounting for fifteen episodes between them before the evening’s Dog House pair even starts.

Primetime turns properly factual once that pair wraps up: Scotland’s Golden Coast takes 9pm, then two 24 Hours in A&E episodes close out the night from 10pm. It’s a schedule that leans on the same handful of dependable strands alongside one genuine new arrival.
