I don't know why they couldn't leave them all as "Five ...". The naming convention of "Channel" and number is antiquated and, whilst some stations in the US, Australia and elsewhere still bear the remnants of these marks, most are moving away from such simplistic monikers in this multi-channel, multi-media world in which we live.

I can even see a time when BBC One, Two, Three and Four will become BBC Prime, Entertainment, Alternative and Culture with a similar convention being adopted by ITV. Prime was and Entertainment is the name used for BBC broadcasts to Europe and the Middle East and these names make just as much sense for the domestic services too.
