New Channels : Five US & Five Life

[Bryan]

Five is launching two new channels to go across all digital platforms.

The channels, Five US and Five life, will go on air this Autumn.

Five US will provide drama, comedy, films, sports and youth programming from America, whereas Five life will feature children's programs, films, drama, soaps, and lifestyle shows geared toward women.

Both channels will be launched on Freeview, and be available on satellite and cable.

Chief Executive, Jane Lighting, said, "We believe these two channels will play to our programming strengths, highlighting genres in which we have an acknowledged track record".

Sounds interesting, they were the only channel who only had one tv station so i think there trying to fit in. Its a good idea though to have all American drama things on one channel.

apparantly five had been buying the rights to classic US soap Dallas for a few years now but never used them, so hopefully their will be airing them!!!

FiveUS sounds good. American tv is normally better than our British stuff!!
