VIJF (formerly ''VIJFtv'', literally: ''Five'') started in October 2004 as SBS Belgium's second channel and a sister channel to VIER (formerly VT4). Since April 2011, both stations are owned by De Vijver Mediaholding,〔("Takeover rocks Flemish media world" )〕 however the stations were rebought once again by SBS Belgium. == History == On 1 October 2004, the first broadcast was that of a soccer game, even though women are the channel's target audience. By doing that the station made sure that men also would set their TV up to view VIJF.〔("Female broadcasting station starts with soccer" )〕 In 2005, its first full year of operation, VIJFtv gained a 5% market share in Flanders, almost matching Kanaaltwee (now 2BE) and VT4. In January 2006, VIJFtv doubled its programming hours and began broadcasting 24 hours every day. VIJFtv began broadcasting the American daytime soap opera ''The Bold and the Beautiful'' (in Dutch ''Mooi en Meedogenloos'') on 4 January 2006. It was first shown on public TV, then on VTM, but the rights were sold to SBS Belgium. That also caused an increase of the market share in the early evening. During the Soccer World Championship, broadcast on Kanaaltwee and VT4, VIJFtv broadcast "women-friendly" programs. They did this using the slogan ''Vrouwen weten waarom'' ("Women know why"), referring to the popular Jupiler beer slogan ''Mannen weten waarom'' ("Men know why"). The formula was a success and VIJF's market share grew even further. On 27 August 2007, VIJF relaunched with 15 new station idents. On the same day, the channel introduced in-vision continuity with three announcers: Gene Thomas, Sophie Dewaele and Els Tibau. Prior to the change in presentation, VIJFtv used Now/Next/Later visuals and voice overs. On 3 September 2012, VIJFtv's name changed to VIJF, along with new programming and new TV shows.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nieuwsblad.be/Article/Detail.aspx?articleid=DMF20120614_134 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「VIJF」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
