Five Download to Rebrand as Demand Five

Five's VoD service, Five Download, is to be relaunched as Demand Five in late May. It will offer a 30-day catch-up service for Five, Five US and Fiver, as well as archived content from its channels. Most programmes will be offered free with pre-roll ads, although some US dramas will cost 99p to download, with preview shows priced at £1.99 each. The new service will also be linked into the five.tv website, which is to be relaunched in phases over the next six months

Web Series Goes To TV

TV Hit? or TV Sh..

Sofia's Diary - the hit web series from BeBo is making the jump to regular ol' TV. It is scheduled to air on Five's Fiver network at the end of April. Will it follow Quarterlife and generally be ignored? Or will it be the first big crossover hit? Who knows? (I don't like the series much - prefer Sanctuary and The Guild. Shows my geek credentials.)
