First socially conscious online TV network launched

James Blunt, Kate Bosworth, Ray Winstone, Christian Slater and Nelson Mandela’s charity, 46664, have joined forces to support a new online network which launched yesterday, December 1st.

t5m.com is heralded as the first socially conscious online TV network whose mission is ‘to inspire and entertain’. t5m offers direct access to original, broadcast-quality interviews featuring world famous personalities, events and editorial stories – covering everything from fashion and lifestyle to the causes the stars support.

t5m features a huge range of global personalities from actress Kate Bosworth to explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, author Barbara Taylor Bradford to musician James Blunt, and from world champion surfer Kelly Slater to actor Christian Slater.

Charlie Muirhead, founder and CEO of t5m said, “Entertainment is evolving and the next stage is inspiration. Nothing else on the web offers such direct, unmediated access to the people and stories shaping the world we live in.”
In today’s world of information overload and saturation of celebrity gossip, t5m believes that there is room for something else that caters to people’s fascination with highly accomplished individuals and public desire for greater social responsibility.

t5m features:
• Original, broadcast-quality interviews & creative content focused on global talent, their life experiences, passions, projects and the charitable causes they support
• Seven core channels: biography, fashion, entertainment, health, lifestyle, ‘what’s hot’, and causes. In addition, there is a dedicated channel for each personality and a dedicated channel for the charity they support
• Groundbreaking video browser using proprietary technology that intelligently suggests content related to what users are currently viewing

Kate Bosworth commented that “the t5m experience is different than anything else online. It is about high quality, beautifully presented material unavailable anywhere else”.

Ray Winstone said, “t5m is a great alternative to some of the rubbish in the media, and a great way to educate yourself”.

Christian Slater commented “t5m is in-depth, inspirational and fun. Anything is possible”.

Charities are continually fighting to create awareness of their initiatives. t5m helps charities stay in the limelight by integrating their content alongside the other six core editorial channels, and enabling users to browse across channels seamlessly. 46664, Nelson Mandela’s global HIV/AIDS charity was the first to announce its association with t5m.com and has its own dedicated channel on the network.

Tim Massey, Director of 46664 commented, “The 46664 message is one that needs to be heard in every corner of the world. The Internet provides an extraordinary opportunity for 46664 to extend its reach to a global audience. We are delighted to see 46664 partnering with t5m.com to raise awareness in the fight against HIV and AIDS.”
