Five to launch via BBC Freeview
22 October 2008 11:06
At present, many rural areas cannot receive Channel Five, and with the digital switchover looming, there are fears that terrestrial Freeview services will also fail to reach some parts of the UK.
Temporarily, however, Five has struck a deal with the BBC, meaning programmes such as CSI and Neighbours will indeed reach rural communities.
Freeview itself is also set for a shake-up in 12 months as the BBC, ITV and Channel Four embark on their high definition services.
ITV may be set back in its plans to fund a high definition channel, however, if it presses ahead with a possible decision to drop its public service broadcasting responsibilities.
Such a decision would cost the company around £80 million per year in fines collected by Ofcom for dropping its responsibilities before the broadcaster's contract ended.
