Not goodbye, but au revoir

a real travesty. thanks for all the hard work, inspiring magazines, amazing website and good luck to you all in the future.

Damn those credit crunchies!

Merry Christmas to everyone nonetheless.

What a shame… good luck with everything though. Keep us posted!

Ludicrous short sighted management from C4 – surely you need to protect your investment in the talent of the future?

I am blooming gutted. 4Talent’s presence in Birmingham has been really important to me, and Cat Bray has been particularly fantastic in helping me add experience to my CV.

I guess that means rather than 11 chances to win a 4talent award, I have none. But never mind!

I feel that C4 feel that they have ‘talent schemes’ wrapped up by using Skins as a platform to find people but Skins is not the finest of programming, no matter what its audience figures might suggest. It has a niche market that will not get all areas of talent noticed.

Luckily Nick, Helen and Cat are clearly talented, bright and have great futures and I wish them all the luck in the world and a big thanks too.

Thanks for the good wishes Frankie!

I’m actually off to London in January for a brand new job with a different broadcaster - I’ll be blogging all about it shortly, but in the meantime, stay in touch. My gmail email will stay the same and you can find me as ever over on http://catherinebray.wordpress.com/

It’s been fantastic working on 4Talent, and I’m confident that the efforts of Nick and others to keep the best bits of the networks going in new forms will pay off. You ain’t heard the last of these people…

Ridiculous. You will be missed. Rx

Some great work done in the region by the 4Talent team, let’s hope the legacy of interviews and resources will be useful to future generations of media entrepreneurs. You will be missed!

Sad Shame!
I hope there will be some fresh opportunities in the new year! All the best.

4TNI has been an invaluable service to myself and plenty others who availed of their workshops (that were always in high demand) and fantastic advice via the website and emails.

All I can say is I enjoyed it while it lasted and thank you to all at C4 management who spent the money in areas that are usually ignored, and to those working in the regional hubs who encouraged and inspired us to aim a bit higher. Thanks guys!

Really sad news

Thanks for all you have done.

I hope you all find gainful employment very soon as you have great experience at the most important end of talent search.

The deadlines set by the channel four comps were a great motivator and focus.

When i made a final and visited channel four i always tell how friendly and down to earth everyone was.

I have since self produced my radio play and have work on stage this summer.

Thanks to you lot.

Very Very best wishes and hope your all back soon

Thanks Guys for all your hard work, and it’s been really useful to connect 4 Talent Mag with http://www.StartinTV.com.

Very much the same aims of helping young talent get into the industry- and maybe some of you guys would consider some input into the developing StartinTV Careers-guidance-service and CV-posting website?

If we don’t help the future of the industry, I don’t know where we’ll be!

Really sad to hear that. Enjoyed your stellar work at Hello Digital’s 4Talent Inspiration Sessions on Building Successful Online Communities.

I hope everyone affected is able to find meaningful gainful employment very soon.

Really sorry to hear guys, you guys run a fantastic resource that I certainly see as my first call to nurturing creative talent. I’ve been a victim of the credit crunch of late myself, it’s definately a sign of the times. All the best for the future and look forward to your reinvention,

Cheers for all your help!

That’s a great shame, the 4Talent Animation Inspiration day was the best thing that happened to me, it helped inspire me to go to university to do an animation course, which I am now enjoying every minute of.

I look forward to seeing whatever you all do manage to come up with in these crunching times.

will there still be a summer school running this year then or not?
