--Portal Offers Full-Length Episodes of Five's Own Soaps, Links to Episodes of Other Broadcasters' Soaps

UK terrestrial broadcaster, Five, launched a broadband video-enabled Web portal called Holy Soap (five.tv/holysoap), Thursday, which it describes as "dedicated to Britain's unofficial religion": TV soap operas. The site replaces the standalone Web sites that Five previously offered for its Australian soap operas, "Neighbours" and "Home & Away," and offers full episodes of those shows shortly after their broadcast (Five says that up to 30 days of full episodes of the shows will be available on the site, all free-of-charge).
