11 new streaming channels from 5 have launched today on Freely, the live and on demand streaming platform from Everyone TV.

They join 5’s other live channels on the Freely platform.

The new channels – curated from popular 5 content – are available to watch free of charge on the Freely TV guide, which enables viewers with Freely-enabled sets to browse and watch streamed channels from 5 as well as collaborators, including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and others.

Each channel will cater to specific interests and individual titles to show the best of 5’s programming, including true crime, police, medical, emergency shows, and movies. There is also a Milkshake! channel for 5’s celebrated children’s content, plus dedicated channels to 5’s best loved shows, including Police Interceptors, Bargain-Loving Brits, and The Yorkshire Vet. Five of the channels are exclusive to Freely at launch – 5Movies, 5Medical, 5Yorkshire Vet, 5History, and Milkshake! – and all the new channels on Freely are also available to watch on the 5 Streaming platform.

5’s VP, Distribution & Business Development, Kiaran Saunders said: “Launching these channels on Freely will help us expand their reach beyond the 5 streaming platform and directly into the homes of our audiences. As more and more people stream TV live, we want to meet audiences where they are with content they care about. These new channels showcase the range and breadth of genres that 5 excels at.

“We’re also pleased to build on the recent launch of 5Sport on YouTube as we expand our distribution across platforms.”

Jonathan Thompson, Everyone TV’s CEO, said: “5 is home to a wide range of programmes that audiences love, and these new channels bring even more of that content to Freely, from true crime and films to children’s favourites, with the new Milkshake! channel giving families even more choice to watch over the summer holidays. As more households choose to stream live TV, we’re continuing to work with our partners to bring the best of free TV together all in one place, making it easier than ever for audiences to discover and enjoy the programmes they love.”
