So for example an episode ending in 5 or 0 would drop on a Monday, not a 1 or 6? Does that make sense? Expand 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. 1 Quote
James Martin Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 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. Quote
Red Ranger 1 Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Exactly. They don't want to make 5Star the "flagship" transmission. That's the one on the main channel. Quote

Expand It's an interesting thought but the more I think about it, the harder it is to see what exactly such a contract would say. (I'm struggling to remember the original transmission pattern but I seem to remember there was something odd about the omnibuses right from the start.) It can't say that it has to be shown on Channel 5 in the original blocks, because there were plenty of times that it was out of synch, especially in the early days. I'm not even sure that it can say every episode has to be shown on the main channel, because there were two episodes only shown on 5Star when Elizabeth II died, although it's possible there's a caveat that there can be exceptions in extreme circumstances like that.

James Martin Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 There was also that recent snooker tournament where the show was moved to 5 Star. In the very early days of Five Life an episode was moved there due to Europa League football. Quote
