Five US, the channel made just for me, is to start broadcasting on October 15th, according to the Media Guardian. And so’s that other one they have planned, Five Life.
Five US will broadcast daily between 4pm and 1am. Vanished and Shark, which I’ve already previewed, will be two of the main attractions, as will Conviction from Law & Order creator Dick Wolf and Nightmares and Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King. Nick Thorogood will be the controller of both digital channels.
You can read the Media Guardian article to find out more about Five Life, since I don’t care. Five US is my channel.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
