Five to launch two new channels on Sky
Jun 05, 2006 11:32 AM*
Five is to launch two new free-to-air channels across all digital platforms, the broadcaster announced today.

Both 'Five US' and 'Five life' will launch this Autumn.

Five US will bring UK viewers the very best of American television in genres such as: established and new drama; comedy; films; sport and
youth programming.

Five life will feature an extension of the channel's hugely popular pre-school strand Milkshake! as well as drama; films; soaps; popular factual and lifestyle programming skewed towards a female audience.

Five's Chief Executive, Jane Lighting, said: "This is tremendously exciting and the most important development in Five's history since our launch more than nine years ago.

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

"A huge amount of work has gone on behind the scenes to create two propositions that genuinely increase viewer choice across the digital
platforms."
