A revamped C4 will launch next month, featuring America's Next Top Model, the Simpsons, and The Biggest Loser.

Mediaworks TV said viewers will see the new look starting February 6 and at 6pm enjoy the long-awaited Simpsons episode, "Elementary School Musical", starring The Flight of the Conchords.

The channel now called FOUR, will target 18 to 49-year-olds, previously 15 to 39, and host new shows that "offers viewers a fresh and consistently exciting line-up," Mediaworks TV said.

New shows to FOUR include Total Wipeout, Outsourced, Covert Affairs, and Top Chef: Just Desserts.

The channel will also host Sesame Street during children's programming, which will run from 6am to 10am, and 2pm to 4pm weekdays.
