It's now been confirmed that 5Drama is replacing 5Select, but not until October 21st, so VM jumped the gun renaming the channel/DOG early.

"Public service broadcaster, 5 will launch a new channel 5Drama on October 21st which will become a dedicated home to the very best of 5’s hit UK drama, as well as a range of US and Australian series. 5Drama will replace 5Select in the line-up of channels available on all major digital platforms – and will move up the EPG*.

The schedule will run nostalgic US drama through weekday afternoons, building into more recent boxset hits ahead of peak. Peak time will open with 5 family favourites at 7pm and 8pm, followed by classic UK drama at 9pm and a second chance to catch some of 5’s biggest titles at 10pm, such as The Cuckoo, The Catch, Cold Call, The House Across the Street, The Au Pair, Number One Fan, The Rumour and The Fortune. Each day will close with a double bill of Australian drama. Weekends bring the channel's "super sleuths” on Saturdays, from Jessica Fletcher to Inspector Dalgliesh, with Sundays dedicated to UK drama marathons.
