Five Launches VOD service with CSI

LONDON, October 12: Channel Five has launched its
video-on-demand service with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the popular U.S. police drama series.

Viewers are now able to view new episodes of CSI for £2.49 seven days before they are broadcast on
Five. If they want to view them again after the broadcast, they will pay £1.49
per episode.

At the moment, current episodes of the series are available,
as well as the most recent episodes of CSI: New York and CSI: Miami. Five anticipates that eventually the entire library of all three CSI
series will be available.

"I'm delighted that we are launching the service with CSI, enabling us to offer the highest quality content to
viewers with a viewing window which exceeds anything currently in the
marketplace," said Jane Lighting, Five’s chief executive.

In a related development, Five is about to launch two
additional digital channels. Five Life will debut on October 15, and Five US
will launch the following day.
