4 Tel was Channel 4’s own service, containing listings and information on Channel 4. Ran separately to Teletext, it was eventually phased out in favour of an alternative service provided by Teletext Ltd themselves. During its lifetime, overnight closed time on Channel 4 was often filled with 4-Tel on View; a loop of the usual pages played out in broadcast form, with a series of animations between.

4-Tel on View (About)-1996 and more here!
