If its true they have been very clever. 5th June is generally when exams are nearly over so theoretically more people would be willing to watch.

5th June is a Thursday and if they have good promotion, big memorable characters entering and perhaps a launch night twist, everyone will be talking about it the next day at work.

5th September is a very clever finale date as its when people are returning from their summer breaks so there might be a bit of anticipation about the final- again getting people talking about it.

5th June gives them plenty of time to finalise everything and heavily promote the show. I hope its true and it works out.
