One of Richard Desmond's publications is the magazine OK!


Richard Desmond
is to buy Ch5 this Friday.

"Desmond and Gerhard Zeiler, RTL’s boss, have earmarked this Friday to announce the Channel Five deal, which as it stands will cost the Express owner just over £100m."


Not many have £100million
so its no wonder he has won it.



Sign Of The Times.

A Five employee said: "There's a real sense of anxiety and nervousness about what Desmond's going to do. We fear the heart of Five could be ripped out."
