Channel 5 is about to launch a new channel on the Freeview platform.
Today a placeholder for “5 Later” appeared on Freeview channel 55.
This new channel will join Channel 5+1, 5* and 5 USA in the Channel 5 family.
What programming 5 Later will show and when it will launch has not yes been announced by Channel 5, but it is thought that it will be similar to 4seven, showing “the best of all Channel Five channels”.
It is not known if the channel will appear on the Freesat and Sky satellite platforms.
