The vocals feels clunky too, especially for the spin offs which are now include "on More4" etc as they announce the programme name rather than time. Clearly a strict script in place at the moment but hopefully they can become more natural over time.

I get why they're going for a stream first tagline, but I'd recommend switching it back around to 'Live on [DAY] at [TIME] or Stream Online'. That being said 'Stream Online or Live on [DAY] at [TIME]' isn't too bad.

Referring to everything as "Channel 4" feels so formal too after it largely being referred to as "4" in trailers over the years. "All4" felt less formal too, and summed up the on demand service as a destination for all programmes from the C4 off-shoots.

It doesn’t need to say “watch live”
“Tuesday at 9.00 on 4, or watch online now”
“Watch online now or Tuesday at 9.00 on Channel 4”
Surely either of those would be be much better?
Or even: “Programme Name on Channel 4, watch online now or Tuesday at 9.00”

Could shave an extra word off and have "Tuesday at 9.00, or stream now, on 4."

I think it should be "[programme] on Channel 4. [day] at [time] or stream on the Channel 4 app"

It would be better as:
"[Programme name], watch from [date] at [time] On Channel 4."
