Forgive me if you’re not as into The Killers as I am, but along with Bloc Party they were the first bands I got introduced to on my tentative journey into defining my musical taste, so the release of their sophomore album, Sam’s Town is kind exciting to me.

This promo is for the Killers Weekend on Channel 4 (which is going on right now in the UK), and after getting Sam’s Town yesterday the tune they’re whistling seems to be from the albums bookends, Enterlude and Exitlude.

(Thanks Lee for the video)

The new BBC idents have been unveiled, for more info about the concept read the press release, but for now until they launch on screen in October these 4:3 versions from the promo reel will have to do.

I really liked the old dancer idents, and I’m not sure I’m quite as excited about these. I think Channel 4 has officially won me over.

The newest of the Channel 4 idents, this one set in a dockyard.

I’ve since added it to the original post, so short of a new one being made in the last week see the entire collection here.

The first video is an extended promo for Film4 announcing that the channel will available for free, and the second video is a very funny and fairly random promo for the same thing featuring Judi Dench and Ewan McGregor.

Maybe there is some context I’m missing for the second video, or maybe its just meant to be that random/surreal kind of thing, either way, I likes.

Update: get some context after the jump courtesy of YouTube.

Another Update: it turns out these promos were directed by Kevin Spacey.

SBS have been running this 60 second look back at their coverage of the World Cup, they’re rightfully proud of the whole thing, and I’m not sure if it would work as well as it does on any other network.

Last month I assembled what I thought was the complete collection of the current Channel 4 idents, apparently I was missing this one however.

I’ve since added it to the original post, so short of a new one being made in the last few week see the entire collection here.

Sorry I didn’t get around to grabbing more of these, but here is what SBS ran for a bit during the World Cup as their idents. To see the more extensive SBS World Cup themed idents click here.

The BBC started running brand promos back in March, they’re created by Fallon I believe. The first video here is about their golf coverage, and the second is about Radio 1.

The earlier ones I think are better, check out the Liberation of Kabul, Ricky Gervais and Iraqi Cameraman.
