tour was broadcast. Completing the launch night line up was Big Brother Live, where Rachel Rice
was given a 'favourite things party' as she had survived that night's eviction. She and her chosen favourite housemate, Kathreya Kasisopa, were taken to a private room where Rachel's top 10 favourite songs were played. Live coverage of the 2008 V Festival

Despite the arguments between Davina and Steve as to whose face appeared first on the channel, actually the first face on 4Music was Kylie Minogue
, introducing her live concert at 9pm on the launch night (as they later explained).
The launch also saw a new DOG
