Available on cable (via HOT) and satellite (via yes), the company has six channels which are devoted to sport.
In 1990, the channel first aired as the Sports Channel in channel 5, from whence its name is derived.
5PLUS
In 2001, the subscription fee based channel 5PLUS was created as Sport 5's first subsidiary channel with content such as (cut down international versions of) WWE Raw and WWE Friday Night SmackDown. Since then, 5SPORT has lost almost all of its notable content,[1] though it is still used to show UEFA Champions League matches in tandem with 5PLUS channel.
5LIVE and 5GOLD
In March 2007, the company launched two new channels, 5LIVE (for live sport) and 5GOLD (repeats of classic sports action). The new channels were met with great criticism from viewers complaining about even more loss of content in favor of pay channels.[citation needed]
