Channel 5

Interesting bit of continuity from Channel 5 over a trailer for The Last Samurai there:

(paraphrased) "Okay, you might want to log that mic screw-up. No no, nowt to do with you, I knew it was on the screen, for some reason I just took my headphones off."

Came up around 20:57 if anyone fancies catching it on +1 in an hour.

I missed that. But I noticed after Police Interceptors the Now/Next screen had no continuity over the top of it, just the music, so I'm guessing that's what is being referred to there.

Here is a link to the promo that Channel 5 are showing for their American Dramas at the moment

Oops

Oh dear...

Ooh, bit of an Accident being aired like that I'm presuming.

It raises a question, are sponsorship stings individually selected for each junction, or is it a random selection that automation plays?

I did fancy catching it on +1 and I also took the opportunity to capture it too. I've just been so busy recently that this is the first opportunity I have had to upload it. I hope it is still of interest.

Some quite nice imaging on the teasers currently airing for Once Upon a Time . Big hit in the States:

The general presentaion has started to be adapeted to adveritse Once Upon a time now, whith ECP, break bumpers (but not flashes yet) and IPP's now being used.

And a rather nice ident as well:



And in other news, it's Channel 5's 15th Birthday tomorrow.

^Honestly, one of the best new idents I've seen in a while.

I know I'm repeating myself but the C5 pres team, by and large, don't receive the credit they deserve. So here's some for them [thumbs up emoticon goes here]. Definitely the current terrestrial home for the most creative, visually arresting presentation.

I wasn't able to catch any of Channel 5 yesterday did they do anything on air for their 15th birthday? I noticed it got a mention on their Facebook page. It really doesn't feel like it's been 15 years since it launched and I got to watch Prisoner: Cell Block H from episode 1 albeit in the middle of the night . I remember the same year Channel 5 launched it was Channel 4s 15th birthday and they had special idents and programmes.

Surely you mean today- 31st March. That's when Channel 5 think they began broadcasting - http://about.channel5.com/our-brands/channel5
