The terrestrial channel had been notably absent from the service since Freesat’s launch in May 2008 due to “rights issues”. Having resolved the problems, the broadcaster launched its flagship service on the digital TV provider in the middle of November. Freesat MD Emma Scott described Five, which joined the Freesat EPG on channel 105, as a “fantastic addition” to the service. With Five having now been available for some weeks, at its launch on Freesat Charles Constable, Five’s director of strategy, said: “I am delighted that Five will be available to Freesat viewers. Our launch will support three of Five’s objectives: to be universally available throughout the UK, to let viewers watch our programmes on the platform of their choice, and to enable as many people as possible to watch Five free of charge.” Launch dates for Five’s digital channels Five USA and Fiver have yet to be confirmed.
