Channel 5 airs a wide variety of programming that covers various genres and themes, with programmes about farming, trains and royalty being popular.

The channel is notable for its travel and holiday shows, whether presented by comedians such as Susan Calman^[1][2] and Alexander Armstrong^[3] or whether they are programmes in a fly-on-the-wall reality format like Allo Allo! Brits in France^[4] or the Bargain Loving Brits... series.^[5][6][7][8] The channel has also become associated with a number of people and programmes from Yorkshire^[9][10] with shows including Jane McDonald,^[11] The Yorkshire Vet's Julian Norton^[12] and shepherdess Amanda Owen,^[13] (the latter two also contributing to episodes of This Week on the Farm,^[14] filmed at Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire).

Channel 5 is also notable for securing the rights to Home and Away in 2001, which helped boost early evening viewing figures for the channel,^[15] and acquiring Neighbours from the BBC after a bidding war with other broadcasters. However, where once imported drama made up a large part of its schedule, Channel 5 has increased the number of titles released under the banner of Channel 5 Original Dramas, with The Drowning^[16] and a new version of All Creatures Great and Small^[17] bringing in more than 4 million viewers to the channel, making it one of Channel 5's biggest hits of Autumn 2021 along with Our Yorkshire Farm and The Madame Blanc Mysteries (all with audiences of over 2.5 million viewers).^[18]

Public service

Channel 5, as a British public service broadcaster, are required to broadcast a wide variety of programming. As opposed to Channel 4, whose programming remit targets the fringes of society and ranges a variety of cultures, Channel 5's remit is more like ITV's. The Channel's remit is laid out in the Communications Act 2003, Section 265 and is regulated by Ofcom. The section states that:

(1)The regulatory regime for every licensed public service channel, and for the public teletext service, includes a condition requiring the provider of the channel or service to fulfil the public service remit for that channel or service.

(2)The public service remit— (a) for every Channel 3 service, and (b) for Channel 5, is the provision of a range of high quality and diverse programming^[19]

As a public service broadcaster, Channel 5 is required to show a quota of news bulletins and educational programmes. Documentaries such as Hidden Lives, Revealed and Extraordinary People are examples of how the channel has met these criteria. In 2005, Channel 5 acquired the right to the annual Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, with the broadcasts occurring on the channel for three years (as they are now on BBC Four).^[20] The channel has also featured some short educational documentary series such as Your Sport focusing on sport in local communities.
