Posted in: Uncategorized
In recognition of the opening of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games, and of the controversy surrounding gay rights in Russia, Channel 4 will be rainbow branded in the colours of the gay pride flag tomorrow across all of its channels. It has also released an anthemic promo to wish good luck to all the athletes competing in Sochi, titled Gay Mountain.
