OK what happened? We did say it would be this week.
Can someone investigate and confirm the actual date, I'm sure we have a source of information?

Does no-one read previous posts? It was revealed earlier it was an error saying the Channel 5 rebrand was being unveiled last week, as it was MTV's that was being revealed. Whoever wrote the article got mixed up as the same person is responsible for the on air identity of Channel 5 and MTV UK & Ireland. (and considering how horrendous the new MTV UK & Ireland look is, start praying for Channel 5 now).

The Channel 5 rebrand isn't happening until later this year.

I would expect the rebrand to happen around the first week of September?

The person who first said it was this week is an idiot. Mislead us the whole time.

Laughing LOL

The first time I read the article I thought it had been misinterpreted. I didn't see any commitment to rebrand C5 in there at all, let alone last week,

Would be interesting to know the demos for these sort of shows - is it posh folk looking down or people in similar situations themselves, who surely aren't that attractive to advertisers.

C5 is terrible though at the moment - every other show seems to have "Benefits" in the title and it's all part of the disgusting Tory mindset to put hundreds of thousands out of work then laugh at them because they haven't got a job.


This week's highlights include

Kicking Off: Caught on Camera
Cat Crazy: 90 cats and counting
Nightmare Tenants and Slum Landlords
Benefits: 37 years on the dole
And hours of Big Brother

The 5* channel and 5usa are the pits and been that way for a while ! Only 5+24 seems to offer a purpose for broadcasting
Hope they sort out the other channels not just 5 when all the revamp kicks in as seems a waste of frequency broadcasting such poor channels

Any rebrand wouldn't happen in the middle of Big Brother, surely?

Yeah, they wouldn't. Apart from the very first series in 2000, BB has always been influenced by the broadcaster's brand (the typeface used, for instance). So relaunching the channel mid-series would cause the graphics to mismatch.

What is the font called that they use on the trailers etc?
