Channel 5 seem to be going from strength to strength. Some of their factual entertainment programming is rating in the millions on a regular basis now. They always targeted beating channel 4 for share, and they are achieving this regularly now due to better programming, and channel 4 going stale. Next challenge is to overtake bbc2.
For me, it has never been a better time for channel 5 to start commissioning some original comedy and drama to enhance their growing popularity.
