—Five: RDF-owned broadcaster Five has scrapped advertising on its Five.tv homepage in favour of a focus on its deeper web content. This comes after Channel 4 made the same move, although Channel4.com homepage ads were still in place there this morning while Five.tv has already dropped its ads. But Five is offering brands the chance to “take over” the site for between a day and a week, so the site won’t be entirely free from commercials. Via NMA.
