Some people like it, some people very much hate it, and so as it sounds like it will be disappearing from early next year, here is the current five news theme music and all its various bits.

I missed Rob Butler's last news at noon on five. If anyone knows what or where to catch him please let me know. Gosh he was the best looking and wittiest and charming etc etc news presenter ever.
I MISS HIM
Hope someone has news about his whereabouts. Ta

Thanks to intheknow for uploading the theme, nice to hear it clean! Very Happy

Anyway just having a look on at the TV Guide on the web for the week commencing the 3rd January and it oddly appears that there will be no Sunrise on Five that week, instead Milkshake starting at 6.00am, is this permanent or just next week only?

Though the schedule for Five has been altered slightly for next week, as The Wright Stuff is now on at 9.00am, Sunset Beach at 10.00am, documentaries at 7.15pm, and rather oddly, but something I might tune in for: The Clangers at 11.50am weekdays!

Are there any bulletins at all on New Years Eve? Or is the last one on Thursday?

Sunrise isn't listed for the following week either - so perhaps it has been dropped.

Just something perhaps worthy of notice. Apologies if it has been mentioned before.

Noticed Peter Lane (I think of Five News) with a report on Sky News yesterday.

Presumably the new agreement means we will see Five reporters on Sky as well as vice versa.

I suspect it is more likely than a Channel Four News reporter appearing on ITV1s News.

Peter Lane was with the BBC until recently, though before this he was with the ITN Five News operation, so returning to Sky's Five News makes sense I guess.

AIUI Sky are piloting their Five operation at the moment - so if they have reporters on location for the pilots it makes sense for them to also do Sky for real?

Will be interesting to see the extent of this.

Take a court case in Birmingham, for instance. Would Sky send out one of their Midlands correspondents in favour of a Five correspondent, would they send both and each use their own, would a Five correspondent report for both networks, and so on...

Obviously they'll have considered all of this already, but will be interesting to see how it plays out on screen.

I wonder on the last ever [?] ITN five news, they will show highlights of the last 7 years? You know, something like the ITN News At Ten once did.
