Channel 4.5

There's been a certain amount of speculation about the futures of
channels 4 & 5 with one solution being the merger of the two. I think Ch4 is in better shape than Ch5 & this is purely based of view the channels - 4 seems to have more advertisers than 5 with the latter showing more government ads.

Personally, I couldn't care less about 5, I rarely watch it and the only stuff on there of any quality are the US imports which any other channel could easily pick up.

Ofcom has suggested a merger between the two with a stronger public service remit. I like this idea but almost feel that 5 would bring very little to the mix and it would almost be worth seeing it go to the wall.
