As you can see, it's very much My5 with a new brand and new shows added so I wouldn't be suprised if they go ahead with this schedule under the existing My5 brand irrespective of them not launching it as 5Prime.

I think the last minute change is quite likely to be down to an objection from Amazon about the use of Prime for it.
I really can't see how Amazon can object words like "primetime, prime" etc have been around long before Amazon came on the scene, i think it's most likely down to ceos who can't make their mind up.
