5 News

An embargo ends at midnight and the names of the new presenters will be announced formally.

I don't think people who read this thread (and the Daily Mail) will be surprised!

The male presenter will be the main anchor at 5pm, with the female presenter taking charge of the 7pm news. Full details will be at midnight, unless newspapers release online early.

My Bet then Matt Barbett & Emma Crosby

Part of the reason why Five News at 7 does so poorly because its only 2 hours after the 5pm bulletin.

Am sure am not the only one that watches Channel 5 like this;

5pm News
5.30pm Neighbours
6.00pm I watch something else but plenty of people stay after Neighbours to watch Home & Away.
6.30pm Live From Studio Five (Half the audience leave after watching Home & Away)

They need to rig-jig the schedule & only have 1 news bulletin & have 5 minutes updates from 8pm like they used to do, I suggest either;

5pm - Live From Studio Five/OK!TV
5.30pm - Neighbours
6.00pm - Channel 5 News
6.30pm - Home & Away
7pm - Cowboy Builders/Monkey Business or something similar

OR

5pm Channel 5 News
5.30pm Neighbours
6.00pm Live From Studio Five/OK!TV
6.30pm Home & Away
7pm - Cowboy Builders/Monkey Business or something similar

OR if you have huge balls do this;

5pm Channel 5 News
5.30pm Neighbours
6pm Live From Studio Five/OK!TV
6.30pm - onwards : Cowboy Builders/Monkey Business or something similar

*Home & Away rates really well on FIVER so move it permanently there.

Confirmed via the Daily Express that Emma Crosby has joined and will front the 7pm bulletin from February 14.

Sorry to double post but its been confirmed via Daily Express;

Emma Crosby will be the face of the 7pm bulletin, she will start on 14th February.

Will it make any real difference? In my opinion, it won't

They need to change the schedule, end off. The majority of people tune in at 5pm and most switch off either after Neighbours or Home & Away.

Express six minutes behind ATV (in Google News), what took them soo long.

Emma says on moving to Channel 5 News

Well I warmed to her on GMTV, but I doubt I'll turn over to Five just for her.

So place it against two other news slots, where it would be surely the last choice behind BBC News and even the ITV Regional News.

There is a lot of news around that time, if ITV's news was still on at 5.30pm a Five News hour from 6.30-7.30 would I guess be the best option, but ITV needs to cut right back first on what its offering as far as news goes in that slot before '5' had any chance of making it an option for people to turn to at 6.30.

Since Desmond seems to think the channel was best at launch, please can the news go back to being the fast-paced, get you the facts style bulletin that ITN used to provide rather than the smiling woman and a cup of tea format Sky do at the moment?

Radio Times have got the schedule for Channel 5 on Monday, 14th February 2010.

At the moment, it seems Five News at 5pm will remain from 5pm-5:30pm. TBA (OK TV! I bet) from 6:25pm - 7:00pm, and Five News at 7 from 7pm-7:30pm.

It also says TBA from 2:50pm-3:05pm. Hopefully a Five News or even Channel 5 News update then?

Normally its just a filler like Animal Rescue Squad, Zoo Days to name two programmes theres a cooking programme and Julia Bradbury presents another programme that is used in that time as well.

All depends how long the afternoon film is.
