A Major Rebrand Is Coming For CHANNEL 5...

After nearly 30 years in existence, CHANNEL 5 is about to undergo its BIGGEST REBRAND to date! But what will it become? Why is it happening now? And perhaps most importantly, how could this affect the channel's standing in the UK television industry going forward?

I think Channel 5 announcers have always prefer announcing Channel 5 as 5, When the station launch in 1997 David Vickery said Welcome it 6 o'clock on Sunday March 30th and this is 5.

[HalfbrickVHS]

It's pretty much always been known as 5 on-screen anyway, even the announcers used to say "Now on 5" during the original era. Will be interesting to see the new logo and idents though!

[samuellangford]

I have never watched anything on Channel 5 in my life... this will not change... 😂 Nice to have you back Adam! 😊

[bookie]

05:54 - "The network regularly beats rivals BBC Two and Channel 4 in the ratings, with shows such an upcoming drama featuring David Suchet". Someone should tell the geniuses at Channel 5 marketing that an upcoming drama doesn't have ratings!

[RedTomatoes]

I’m excited for a Channel 5 Rebrand, And I’m also can’t wait to see the new look Of The Logo!

[DanielZ-nvzg]

Tiny Pop is back! You might wanna make an update on the videos of it shutting down.

[rogerdarthwell]

Welcome back Adam! Long time no see! Good luck with your show BTW!

[Squaretable]

Let's not forget that for the best part of a decade it was "FIVE", no channel :) I miss the FIVE era

[TechBaffle]

The sooner streaming platforms for a single channel become the same name as the channel, the better. I'm tired of hearing "tonight at 8 on Channel 5 or stream now on My5".

[wrexhammusic]

Next up, the BBC re-brands itself as "B"

[Anonymoususer_]

It seems that every thing we are watching will never be the same again. And go to streaming services instead to watch programmes. How technology and AI is going to affect all of us.

[lordprotector]

Will we have to retune our video recorders again? :)

[jonjohnson]

I remember Channel 5 starting, tuned the TV and it was just a loop counting down to the Spice Girls launching the channel, it was so "exciting"...these days the only linear TV I watch is the odd football game and formula 1

[questioned]

My family still call ITV1 "Channel 3" so I don't think we'll ever say "I saw that on 5" but that's okay.

[Littlemitashy]

My mum has channel 5 news on most days (she's likes Dan Walker) and the announcer normally says "now its 5 news" or "now its your news on update on 5" something along those lines, so its rare for them even now to say channel 5 and those idents from 2016 are all just the 5 symbol, I think the only change really will be the tv guide saying "5" instead of "channel 5"

[Sn_]

It makes sense because channel 5 was called five back then

[GeoffRiley]

Roll up! Roll up! Claim your letter or number now before they're all taken. 😁

[Larry]

This is great, with all the time saved just saying "Five" instead of "Channel Five", they'll be able to fit in even more cop shows, and clip reaction shows where some unfunny third rate celeb just reiterates the video clip you just saw.

[dylanmcfarland]

I agree that 5 has had some puzzling rebrands (puzzling to some, at least), but simplifying My5 to just 5 _really_ takes the cake to me. I mean, a lot of fans have called Channel 5 since its launch in 1997, but at least the channel doesn't seem to need to be simplified drastically. And what about Milkshake, the channel's breakfast show showing the best of the rest of children's TV on one breakfast show? Doesn't anyone remember when it aired Disney Channel and Cartoon Network programming? I know I wasn't much around for that, but I can distinctly remember shows like Franny's Feet, Fifi And The Flowertots and the 2005 revival of Roobarb And Custard on there. But apparently it also aired shows like Bear In The Big Blue House, The Book Of Pooh and maybe even The Powerpuff Girls too. Nowadays it isn't too uncommon to see Nickelodeon programmes on the Milkshake block, isn't it?

[Nostalgics-ndqb]

I hope your puppetry of that giant Dragon goes well in Yorkshire. Also, just naming the channel to 5 is a poor choice in my opinion. I mean, UKTV is now just U and now Channel 5 is just 5. I’m not a fan of this overly bland and generic name change companies are doing honestly, but at least I can watch this very entertaining video with a smile on my face. 👍
