They've just shown a trailer for Don't Stop Believing where the voiceover said "Channel 5"

The CA who's on at the moment is saying "Channel 5" some of the time, but is still saying "Five" some of the time. I suppose old habits die hard.

Is it possible that Live From Studio Five might be going to some sort of 'best-of' pre-recorded series as it is the summer? Unless they've realised going head to head with the One Show is a daft idea?

Also ginofish, don't be sorry for asking a legitimate question on here, new posters shouldn't be expected to know the technical terms without asking, regardless of how over-enthusiastic they are with posting on here.



Ok thanks Very Happy
I reckon live from studio five may even do what Richard and Judy did and this morning does have one show a week were they show the best parts from that week or it could be precorded or they could have a feature from another studio/ outside torwards the end of the show .

Wouldn't be surprised to see a return of the OK!TV brand replacing Live from Studio 5. Seems an obvious move and might bot be too bad providing they don't get fiona to host it again!


Probably not possible as Desmond won't be able to advertise his papers on the channel due to EU competition rules.


Would just need OK to "pay" for it to get around that though surely?

Well Live From Studio Five was a failure in the ratings anyway. They can move it to 4am and noone will notice. Ofcom wouldn't care as they still have a news show at 7pm Very Happy

Sponsoring a news programme isn't allowed either.

Wouldn't take much to remove the news content from the programme though would it?

Some of the promos have the CA saying Channel Five at the end while some of the older ones like The Gadget Show still say Five. TBH, I think it would be easier for them to just use Five rather than Channel Five in the same way that the CA on Channel 4 says on 4 or now on 4.

Flicking through the trashy mags I noticed an advert for five in 'Closer', except it said channel five. It was the current logo but with 'channel' written above it.

Isn't one just in front of the other. Does Live from Studio Five have any viewer interaction (phone calls etc.) or could it take advantage of the OFCOM definition of live and be broadcast on a 15-minute delay?

Even with the benefit of a 15 minute delay for LfSF, wouldn't it be quite a rush to move the news set into place, remove the desk and put that odd sofa/chaise longue and plasma screen into position?

Mind you, I'd prefer they did that, rather than do a 15 minute bulletin from the CSO area.

I think the point is that Channel 5/five need Live from Studio Five to hit their PSB news provision requirements don't they? If they ditched the news content to allow it to be sponsored they would need to make up the news content somewhere else - and I think they have to schedule at least some of their news during peak don't they?
