Channel 5 (Anglosaw)

Channel 5 is an Anglosovic commercial television network that started broadcasting on April 15th, 1990 (Easter Sunday). Throughout the 90s it tried to find a proper identity and programming. The channel is currently owned by ViacomCBS Networks International Anglosaw.

There are two feeds, one for most of Anglosaw (Newland, Lanzes, Slenland and the Crown Dependencies) and one for Irleise (where the Neurcasian soaps aren't broadcast due to a rights conflict with RTÉ). The channel is not available in overseas territories but a handful of its programs have been syndicated to ITV companies in those territories, most notably its long-running (1994-2003) soap Family Affair.

1997-2002

Channel 5's 1997 identity was developed by Wolff Olins for a new campaign that preceded the start of the channel's 1997 look. In an effort to rejuvenate the channel's identity, the campaign featured the Spice Girls and was first used in March of that year. The identity used on screen was developed by Silver Hammer.
