Five joins Canvas
July 29, 2009
UK terrestrial channel Five has signed up to be a joint venture partner in Project Canvas. The formal expression of interest from RTL-owned Five means it joins fellow broadcaster ITV and telecoms operator BT in the venture get the green light. Channel 4, which has been eyeing Canvas closely, has not yet joined the project but its previous involvement with planned on-demand joint venture Project Kangaroo would suggest its inclusion.
