Five (Euro Republics)

Five is a Euroish free-to-air television channel, owned by EuroMedia, that launched on 1 August 2020.

Skewed heavily towards a female demographic between the ages of 25 and 44, Five broadcasts a mix of reality and talent competitions, docusoaps, documentaries, property shows, cookery shows, lifestyle shows, imported crime drama, soap operas and true crime documentaries in addition to music videos and a mix of horror, romance and TV movies.

History
Five was announced in October 2019, as part of a major reshuffle of EuroMedia's free-to-air television channels, with the new channel replacing music channel V5. SIX and TV10 were also cut at the same time, with the former becoming Canvas.

Initally, Five was intended to broadcast a range of new series at launch, but as a result of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, this was delayed, and the channel was mostly launched with repeats and movies.

Before launch, it was also decided for Five to broadcast a daytime music strand in the mornings, akin to it's predecessor V5, but with regular programmes starting at midday as as opposed to the evenings like on V5.

As a part of EuroMedia's content agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery and Comcast, Five has - since launched, owned the Euroish broadcast rights to multiple series from the TLC channel from WBD and the Bravo and Oxygen channels from NBCUniversal in the United States, as well as local variations of TLC, Bravo and Oxygen programming.
