Ostrich Media
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ostrich Media is a British company, best known as the owner of interactive quiz show, Quiz Call. Up until October 2006, it was a wholly owned subsidiary of 4Ventures Limited, which is itself a subsidiary of the public-service commercial broadcaster Channel 4 Television Corporation. However, it has since been purchased by iTouch, a provider of interactive television services.
[edit] Sale
Ostrich Media is now wholly owned by iTouch. As a result of the sale, a review of the channel has seen it's broadcast hours reduced in accordance with an expected drop in viewers when the channel loses it's twenty-four hour DTT space. A significant number of freelance presenters no longer work for the channel due to this drop in hours.
From Sunday 12th November, the channel provided Ftn with a three hour block of programming, simulcast with the Quiz Call channel from 10pm through until 1am. This has since ended, and the Quiz Call channel has closed on Sky Digital.
Quiz Call is now a television programme, airing on Five, Five US, and Five Life.
