Wonder if that background on the picture has anything to do with the new look?
An icy blue Five News?

Confirms that the bulletin moves to 5pm too.

I'm surprised they've opted for a full half hour bulletin before Neighbours really - I'd have thought with the 7pm edition being restored to half an hour, they'd have just gone for a 15-minute bulletin before Neighbours, which IMO would actually be better.

Neighbours viewers aren't going to tune in for a full half hour bulletin before the show, but they could capture an audience with a shorter bulletin.

Perhaps they are thinking they will keep viewers from the afternoon matinee movie, rather than attract viewers of neighbours?

I suspect the background in the picture is blue screen as they were filming at Teddington studios. I wonder if Five are using Natasha Kaplinsky to promote the new look Five and schedule rather than just Five News.

I know that when Five cut the 7pm news to 15 minutes in 2005 they had to get permission from Ofcom so maybe they tried again but were unsuccessful.

You can watch Natasha 1st video blog of her filming the five news promos here http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1385253366&channel=1351387396

She talks about a new set (being built at the mo!), a new relaxed approach (casual dress) and that they will be basing the show on a amercan network show (thats where natasha has been to do her research!)

Is it me, or is she turning into Kay Burley?

The references to CBS News are interesting - I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Sounds interesting. So will the 11.30 programme remain at that time and will it be called Five News with Kate Gerbeau? Perhaps, Natasha will be the only one that merits her name being in the programme itself?

I also wonder if the 5pm set will be used for the 11.30 programme and updates?

So we know...

Arrow New relaxed style - dress and possibly language?
Arrow Sofa in the set, as at present.
Arrow CBS influences
Arrow New colour scheme
Arrow New studio - assuming this will still be at Osterley, right?

Yeah Neighbours will be at 17.30 with Five News before that at 17:00. See the Neighbours will also show at 13.45 I wonder if there will be a Five News Lunchtime programme at 13.30 to fill the 15 min gap??
