Five in talks to join Kangaroo service

by Media Week, Media Week 11-Dec-07

Commercial broadcaster Five is one of several parties in talks to join the video-on-demand offering proposed by a consortium including BBC Worldwide, Channel 4 and ITV.

Joining the service - which has yet to be branded, but has the project
name Kangaroo - as a founding partner would net Five a greater revenue
share, although signing on as a content provider could allow it greater

flexibility to supply content to other VoD services.

Media Week also understands that several third-party content providers
are in talks with Kangaroo's founders about supplying their programming
to the planned service.
