Channel 5 plans major relaunch
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Channel 5 is preparing for a major programming and advertising relaunch in September. Dawn Airey, the channel's programming director, has confirmed that the "stripped and stranded" format of her shows will be watered down and a number will be scrapped or radically rejigged in the autumn.
There will also be a fresh marketing campaign to encourage people to tune in to the channel because another swathe of transmitters will be turned on in September. Both the programme relaunch and marketing push are timed to coincide with the increased viewing all television gets in the autumn.
