Five coming to Freesat

Emma Scott, Freesat MD, told Wotsat that channel Five have settled issues with rights holders and will set a launch date shortly.
“Five are coming on this year and we are hoping for an announcement shortly. They would have liked to have been there at the launch, but it was not possible because of rights issues.

”Fiver and Five US are still not expected to be available on Freesat anytime soon. We were led to beleive this was due to available space on the tighter Astra2D beam, though this may be due to new terms with programme makers.
