Channel 4 - TNT Michael Jackson sketch removal.

On 2009-06-25, Channel 4 lost the show TNT towards the end. This is a recording from Channel 4+1 showing what happened.

---

After checking various websites, it now seems that this was a planned 'break down'. If you are in the UK you can currently watch TNT on Channel 4's website (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/tnt-show/4od#2925537). There was a sketch near the end of the show where the presenters interviewed 'Michael Jackson'. While this show was being broadcast, the real Michael Jackson was in a hospital either dead or dying.

Did anyone else notice that the CA said apologies for the TNT show "ending" so abruptly?

@gdrewpowers

Yes, what of it?

I must admit I did enjoy the little four flying about there though

[jeffrey44]

Good question. I imagine it would be used if someone got their bum out on Channel 4 News or something along those lines.

I've watched this video five times and I just now noticed it, and I didn't notice anyone else bringing it up in the comments. No real reason to bring it up. I just wanted to.
