I can't see Five moving football off the station as it's one of the few things that breaks through in the ratings for it. I think Five2 could be a very good home of US Sports though.

As for daytime - considering they show films from 1.30-5.30 I don't think they desperately need to free up the schedule.

Perhaps a later repeat of Home and Away be nice though (around 8pm) - and I'm sure they'll be those hoping for a rerun of Sunset Beach!


Five has lost it's original selling points now of hourly news updates (used to be every hour from 7am to midnight - now it's 8pm and 9pm!) and nightly films at 9pm, so perhaps they could be incorporated into Five 2.

I do wonder what they will show on Five.2

Most other spin-off channels (BBC3, ITV4, More4 etc) show US drama, cult series, archive shows, first runs and extra spin offs of major shows etc

But Five show US Drama, cult series etc already, and don't have any archive shows or decent homegrown shows to first run or spin off!
