    Desmond has said Five will not be taken downmarket, that there will be an increase in public service content such as news and current affairs, and he is eyeing up big name programme acquisitions such as Big Brother and to significantly increase the channel's share of TV ad revenue.

    It won't just die will it! :(

    Do we even get channel five?

    There'd be some seriously depressed reality tv forum regulars if bb is on in the UK next year and we are denied our fix.

    Five can be tuned in on Sky "Other Channels". Here at the settings:

    FIVE - 10.773 - H - 22000 - 5/6

    Won't be able to sky+ anything though, so you'd have to watch it 'live'.

    Not being able to record it would suck a fat one.
