In the recent past C4 has removed its official forum http://www.channel4.com/community/, been asked to amend the format of its racing coverage http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/may/01/channel-4-racing-coverage-betting, might face public displeasure at potential salary shocks http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/may/01/bbc-channel-4-conservatives-high-earners and all this is set against a background of a potential merger with Channel Five.

Would there be a future for Channel 4.5?
