So it's the 5 Star episode that drops?

So for example an episode ending in 5 or 0 would drop on a Monday, not a 1 or 6?

Does that make sense?

Yes it's the 5Star ep that drops, as it does now. To put it simply, everything is exactly the same, only the episode will be added at 6am on demand, rather than 6:30pm.

The episode uploaded on a Monday (which is still labelled as Tuesday in line with the C5 airings) ends in 2 or 7.

Makes sense, but I still feel they need to drop 5 a day behind if they want to make 5 Star the "flagship" transmission.  That said, their socials still push the lunchtime 5 showing and not the evening 5 Star one.

Exactly. They don't want to make 5Star the "flagship" transmission. That's the one on the main channel.

I wonder if they can’t, maybe there’s something in the length of life contract as it pre-dates 5Star.
