Channel 4 (Creeperian Spanish – Creeperian: Ծանալ 4; Creeperian Spanish – Iberic: Canal 4)[note 1] is a Creeperian television channel which is operated by ANF Broadcasting Inc. and is owned by the National Football Association (ANF).
Channel 4 primarily broadcasts football matches of the Liga Imperial. In addition to the league's matches, it also broadcasts league news, talk shows, analysis programming, and football-related documentaries. The channel also broadcasts foreign and international football matches. Although it primarily specializes in broadcasting football-related content, the channel sometimes rarely broadcasts other sporting events, such as baseball, basketball, and international auto racing.
Channel 4 is one of Creeperopolis' "Primary Channels", the 36 television channels which are offered by every television provider in the country. As such, the channel is a free-to-air television channel, where viewers are not required to directly pay to view it, and it is available in 100 percent of households with television service. The channel does offer a premium subscription service which offers increased streaming quality, the ability to view its programs on mobile devices through Canal 4 a la'Mano, and the ability to view "historical and classic club and national matches" through Canal 4 Antiguo.
The channel's operational headquarters is located in San Salvador and José Revelo Gutiérrez is its operations director. It has broadcasting centers in the capital cities of every department, but it also has multiple broadcasting centers in larger departments by land area and by population. Channel 4 has broadcasting agreements with the governments of El Salvador and the State of the Church which allows it to broadcast in those countries. Channel 4 has two sister channels, Channel 29 and Channel 30, which specialize in broadcasting matches and content related to the ANF's Segunda División and Tercera División, respectively.
According to statistics from ANF Broadcasting Inc. published in 2022, average viewership during Saturday and Sunday night football matches can reach around 35 to 40 million live viewers, while it can peak as high as 160 million live viewers. According to a poll conducted by the Antonio José Sáenz y Heredia University in October 2021, the channel is considered to be the most popular television channel in Creeperopolis, with 42.3 percent of respondents stating that it is their favorite channel.
