	Five fallen \| Ident
		Channel 5’s early diet of trashy American imports, B-movies and soft porn has lead to a less than enviable image for the channel, which it is keen to shake off.
		Channel 4’s old idents and presentation also used colours linked to the channels past, which, like Five’s new look, was used across most presentation (although Five doesn’t use them noticeably in the idents, unlike Channel 4).
		Five don’t appear to be going for Channel 4’s rigid positioning though, as the logo also appears slightly smaller in the bottom left for some trailers.

	Five (TV) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Five, formerly known as Channel 5, is the United Kingdom's fifth terrestrial TV Channel.
		The channel is available on all digital platforms (Sky Television satellite, and Freeview digital terrestrial, and also most cable operators).
		On 27 February 2004 it was reported that the owners of Five and Channel 4 were discussing a possible merger; this was widely seen as a potential upset for Channel 4's pride.

	Historical Television Website
		Channel 5 was launched on Saturday March 30 1997 into what was a much more hostile media climate than what existed at the start of the previous four services.
		Trivia time: Channel 5 is the only terrestial station never to have had a test card (though before launch it did have a tuning signal caption), and has provided a 24-hour service from day one.
		Five's presentation package was developed by the same agency (Spin) that worked on the previous Channel 4 idents, hence some general similarities between the two channels' overall presentation until Channel 4 changed its on-air identity on 31 December 2004.

	Guardian \| Owner of resurgent Channel Five insists on tight control of purse
		Channel Five's plans to close the gap on Channel 4 have suffered a setback, with Britain's third-ranked commercial TV broadcaster unlikely to receive a substantial budget increase next year.
		Five's programming budget of £157m would rise next year but he hinted that any increase would not be substantial.
		Five, which is on track to record its first full-year profit, has an ambitious target of a 10% audience share - but is unlikely to reach it next year.

	CCA - Customer Stories - Cahnnel Five
		In some parts of the UK, Five is already achieving a 10% share of viewing, and for many people, Five is now their regular third choice after ITV and BBC1.
		As far as Five was concerned, the tried and tested functionality of CCA's OASIS system and its user-friendly applications made it the solution most favoured by Mark White and his team.
		All British television channels are governed by the ITC regulations that limit the airtime that can be sold for advertising to 168 minutes a day, so broadcasters cannot afford for any minute to be wasted.

	Five (TV) at AllExperts
		The channel began with a reputation for lowest-common-denominator broadcasting, famously screening low-budget "erotic thrillers" on Friday and Saturday nights (prompting the comment by the channel's director of programmes, Dawn Airey, that it was all about "films, football and fucking"), and concentrating its output on entertainment and lifestyle shows at the expense of factual programming.
		Unlike the other four analogue British television channels, the channel cannot be received via analogue terrestrial broadcasts in many areas, notably the south coast of England, where the signal would otherwise interfere with signals from television stations in France.
		Channel 5 Broadcasting Limited (As of 2006, still the legal name of the company, though it now trades exclusively as five) was licensed by the UK Government in 1995 after an exhaustive bidding process that lasted from 1993 and throughout 1994.

		Channel 5 used the retuning programme to establish their identity and brand months before the channel came to TV screens with it's 'give me 5' campaign.
		Yet again the channel identity was refreshed after a year, introduced in 2000, the idents were similar in style to the previous set but this time the personalities were not necessarily presenters or personalities from the channel.

	Channel 5
		Channel 5 are the only network to infest all of their programmes with what they call a "bug", that is they continuously broadcast an on-screen logo, like some of the satellite stations.
		The Channel is committed to subtitle 25% of it programmes for the first year of transmission, rising to 50% by year five.
		Channel 5 will instead monitor the take up of 16:9 widescreen sets and may later compromise on 14:9 transmissions until a much larger proportion of viewers have the new sets in their homes.

		Channel Five, 10 years old next March, desperately needs Five US and Five Life to work and so beef up flagging viewing figures at the core channel.
		While Five was late in getting in on the digital act, the channels' launch came in the wake of another initiative that puts the broadcaster somewhere toward the front of the pack.
		Five acknowledges it is an experimental initiative and if it doesn't generate enough coin the broadcaster may have to consider ad-funded VOD.

		When the transmission details for Channel Five were announced in the early nineties, many of us in this trade were appalled that the four-channel transmission plan which had served us so well in the UK was to be so seriously compromised.
		Before Channel Five came along, almost every TV transmitter site in the country radiated four signals that could be received on an aerial designed for one group of channels.
		The Channel Five transmission from Belmont is so low powered that in most parts of my area we can’t use it.

	Stop Channel Five prompting Illegal property development in occupied Cyprus
		On 13 June 2006 Channel Five television broadcast a programme in which it encouraged its viewers in the UK to take the gamble of illegally buying, developing and selling Greek Cypriot refugees properties in occupied Cyprus in order to make a huge profit despite the enormous risks involved.
		It has come to my attention that Channel Five is planning to show a programme in the series “Property Developing Abroad” Presented by Gary McCausland in which a “Nottingham couple Carl and Jane buy an abandoned property in northern Cyprus, hoping to increase its value by £20,000 in 10 weeks” according to TV guides.
		Any encouragement by Channel Five to travel to occupied Cyprus illegally, through any ports except those of the free areas and via the UN controlled crossing points, is also illegal.

		In addition to the music fitting the game's visual style flawlessly (or maybe it's the other way around), the sound manages to be a technical marvel, with dynamic effects like guitar and keyboard tracks brought on when characters join your procession.
		Space Channel 5 is full of those, and it all builds up to easily the most inspiring ending sequence ever.
