Channel Five leaves Project Canvas
« on: July 09, 2010, 19:39 »
Channel Five has pulled out of Project Canvas, the web TV joint venture looking to bring video on demand to set-top boxes.

The BBC Trust officially approved the public broadcaster's participation in Project Canvas last month, letting it join up with Channel 4, ITV, BT, Talk Talk and Arqiva.  Currently up for sale, Five is pulling out "pending a review of its digital strategy," but will still offer its content via the project.

"We continue to support the objectives of Project Canvas and despite withdrawing our interest in the venture we believe it will be a critical part of our strategy for reaching consumers in the future," said Charles Constable, director of strategy at Five.

I've never seen boobs on Channel 5 but I don't seem to see them on any channel these days.    :dunno:
