Wonder if they got the idea of chattering CA's from when FTN used to do that? It was a bit cheesy but it did make the channel stand out.

The launch is followed by Five US, which premieres on October 16. It will feature idents of up to ten minutes between programming, which Scott believes is a first.


10 minutes ? Haven't they got programmes to be showing ?

Or ads at least.

What sort of ident could last 10 minutes anyhow? I can't see it being much different to the type of promotional films which have been used on most networks for years!

...it's got to be a preview kind of thing,,, maybe simular to the Film Four Preview.... also to my question earlier... when will the channels be appearing on the Freeview Line Up - it must be soon... done a channel search, and nothing yet....! Cool

Five have got the space now to launch their new channels on satellite - so it's up to Sky to find an excuse not to include them in the EPG on launch!

A shame the marketing budget didn't run to a question-mark.
