They also said that ofcom have comissioned a five.3 http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=303964 there we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal, struck on 18 November, was described by Five as a "strategic investment" which would allow the terrestrial broadcaster to kickstart its multichannel strategy but further details were not revealed.

Five plans second spinoff channel Friday, December 9 2005, 11:40 GMT -- by Neil Wilkes Five is developing not one, but two spinoff channels for launch early next year, according to C21. The stations have the working titles Five.2 and Five.3 and are expected to be available across all digital TV platforms. Details of the two channels will be announced in the New Year but Five.2 is likely to be a general entertainment offering with a Milkshake-branded kids block. Possibities for Five.3 include a movies channel or an ITV2-style, female-skewed lifestyle channel. But there's different rumours going all around at the moment so who knows!

Lucky Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 After reading 5 have cancelled the omnibus I have am now VERY ANGRY with them. Maybe it should move to a channel that loves its shows. I would say Channel 4 but they scrapped Brookside which was the best English soap. Boo Channel 5 Boo. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I totally agree if they can do it to Brookie they can do it to H&A, they dont deserve it and FIVE cutting out the omnibus edition really sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannick Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Don't throw things at me but.. I always thought the UK viewers got spoiled by Five. I never really understood why they did a repeat the day after, and then an omnibus? Maybe it's because they don't do these things in my monkey country, although we do get the repeat the day after, but that's just some random information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claire_louise Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 That's a good point Yannick. I know a lot of people watch the omnibus because they can't catch the eps in the week, but a show would never been on three times on any of the other channels. Personally I think it would be better if they cut the lunchtime repeat rather than the omnibus, but we can't really complain that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Holden Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Sorry to drag up an old thread but personally I think FIVE have done a much better job with showing Home and Away than ITV ever did. ITV used to cut it to bits, dropped it whenever it suited them and hardly ever promoted it. FIVE do give it some promotion and have kept cuts to a minimum until recently. On ITV its wasnt even networked until the final year or so when all regions had it at 5.05pm, before that it was all over the place at 5.10pm, 6.00pm or 6.30pm in some regions.

Natalia Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 It's strange, because when I lived I London it seemed like Five were promoting the hell out of the show. All those painfully bad ads with the entire cast saying, "No worries!" (I'm Australian and have never said that phrase in my life.) 2ND gulf war is IRAQ Jane (Hubby is old enough to remember first, although I'm not) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can't remember it? I was very young, but we were making signs and protesting and things. My little brother was too, and he was only seven turning eight in that year. It was in 1991.
