I watch Five USA a lot and it is noticeable how little advertising they have had since the beginning of the year. They've been putting out musical fillers in the commercial breaks reminiscent of the early days of Channel 4. I don't know if Fiver is the same but supporting three channels plus Demand Five might make launching a HD service a low priority for them until things pick up, unless they can sell HD on some exclusive deal as ITV have done with FreeSat. It doesn't look promising for their Milkshake kiddies channel either unless they can swing some Christmas toy advertising revenue. (Yes, it's that time of year already!)
Does that make sense or am I talking
?
