ch4/E4 will No longer show repeats of freinds
Repeats of the hit US comedy Friends will no longer be shown on Channel 4 and sister station E4 from next autumn.
The sitcom, which stars Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, has been a regular fixture on the broadcaster's schedules since 1994.
Channel 4 said the move would free up funds for new shows and acquisitions.
"After 15 years, 10 hit series and 236 terrific episodes, it's time to say goodbye to old Friends and welcome new ones," said Channel 4's Gill Hay.
She added: "We are incredibly proud to have been the home of Friends for so long, but at a point when the channel is undergoing a period of creative renewal it felt like the right time to part company."
