Given that Paramount also now own Channel 5, is there anything to stop these channels from coming under the Channel 5 branding? For example renaming 'CBS Reality' as '5Reality'.
I guess though that at present the CBS channels in the UK and Channel 5 are currently two separate subsidiaries. This makes such renaming unlikely, and explains there's a separate CBS Catchup app in addition to My5. Long term though it would probably make some sense to fully merge the two.
Aren't the Cello/CBS channels pseudo-pan European - similar content/branding but with different playout to allow for regional times on trails and adverts?
Edit - looking online it doesn't look like the continental versions have much other than branding in common with the UK versions now.
