That said, I'm not sure whether a spinoff focussing exclusively on cyber crime has legs personally, so I wouldn't be too alarmed were Five not to buy it. It may be for the best.
whilst its not true, IMO its shaping up to be a good show Patricia Arquette was awesome in Medium, CSI planted spin-off or not, I am interested in seeing it.
Surprised by the news that The Mentalist has been renewed.
Looks like it been approved now, Wonder when a Channel 5 promo will pop up on the other MTV channels.
Nick Jr have been advertising on a lot of other channels too. You'll know when it's approved cause N&S will be removed from the channel 5 website, at the moment it is still there.
should be stated cbs and viacom are seperate entities in the uk and viacom have bought ch5 not cbs even tough cbs american made content has always appeared on channel 5 regardless of ownership of said channel - why should it change?
Looking over the current CBS schedule, there's not much in the way of tough content. Mike & Molly? Doesn't sound very tough. Two and a half Men (soon to be Zero Men, I think)? Nope. The Good Wife? Mom? 2 Broke Girls? No, no, and no again. Elementary, which I believe is that one with Lucy Lui that's yet another re-hash of the Sherlock Holmes oeuvre. That's soft as shi......
About the toughest I could find is Criminal Minds.
Sky remove their successful channels from Freeview so I cannot see how this is not bad good news for FTV .
It makes no sense.
I'm not sure I understand your first sentence. Anyway, it is Viacom which is buying Channel 5, not Sky. There is a rumour that Sky might take over selling advertising for Channel 5 but this looks to be just a rumour.
Like most people on this thread, I think Viacom's purchase of Channel 5 will be good for the channel.

Two and a Half Men (which is finally ending!), 2 Broke Girls, Mom and TBBT are made by Warner Brothers, despite being shown on CBS...
Not very smart by Viacom. They arent going to get the best deals with the current portfolio of channels. Plus they will have additional overhead after untangling the N&S cross selling post sale.
Plus they will have to invest in some content on Channel 5, Maybe The Daily Show Global Edition can air every Friday at 23:00 to improve things. Plus Comedy Central will be glad to not to have to show it on Extra.

I don't see what additional overheads they'll have as they can probably relocate Channel 5 into Viacom's own premises. Maybe Viacom will bring advertising sales for all its channels inhouse when the BSkyB contracts end?

Bit of a blow to BSkyB.
