ETB 4 (ETB Lau) is the fourth television channel from the Euskal Irrati Telebista group in the Basque Autonomous Community in Spain and the French Basque Country. The channel broadcasts in Basque and Spanish.
History
In 2007, ETB announced the launch of ETB4, a channel in Basque and Spanish that would be dedicated to information and culture, in a similar way to La 2 and El 33, however, the project was discarded due to the 2008 financial crisis.{{cite web |last1=Burgo Muñoz |first1=Patricia |title=¿Qué es ETB 4? |url=https://www.eldiario.es/euskadi/euskadi/etb-cuarto-canal-proyecto-definido_1_4483303.html |access-date=29 September 2022 |language=es |date=3 December 2014}} Instead of ETB 4, ETBK Sat was programmed, the new interim channel combined sports broadcasts with programs from ETB 1 and ETB 2 that were broadcast on ETB Sat.
ETB 4 was launched on October 29, 2014, replacing ETBK Sat on the Basque Country without there being a previous announcement of the change of identity of the channel.
Programming
ETB 4 programming is based on entertainment, highlighting fiction, sports and reruns of ETB 1 and ETB 2 programs.
