Channel 5 (British TV channel)

Channel 5 is a British free-to-air television channel launched in 1997. It was the fifth national terrestrial analogue channel in the United Kingdom. The station was branded as Five between 2002 and 2011, when it was owned by the RTL Group. Richard Desmond purchased the station from RTL on July 23, 2010, announcing plans to invest more money in programming and return to the name Channel 5 with immediate effect, and it was relaunched on February 14, 2011. On May 1, 2014 the channel was acquired by ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global) for £450 million (US$759 million). Alongside the British version of Nick Jr. and Nick Jr. Too, PAW Patrol airs on this channel as well. This is due to Channel 5 being owned by Paramount Global.
