Overview
The show airs at 6.25pm, Monday to Friday, and features a mix of news, celebrity gossip, interviews and chat. When it began it was presented by model Melinda Messenger, former footballer Ian Wright and The Apprentice runner-up Kate Walsh.[1]
The show replaced Five News at 7 which Five had previously announced would be axed in autumn 2009.
It was announced on 29 January 2010 that Messenger had quit her role, to focus on other projects, with a series of guest hosts replacing her.[2] Messenger made her last appearance on the programme on 26 February 2010.
Currently due Melinda Messenger resignation, guest presenters are filling her seat until a permanent presenter can be found. It was announced on March 17th 2010 that Emma Willis, who had been a guest presenter on the show, had been chosen as Messenger's permanent replacement from Easter.

Criticism
The show has been met with strong criticism. In Yahoo's poll: "The Worst TV Shows of 2009", it fared as the third worst, receiving 11% of all the votes. Veteran broadcaster Michael Parkinson complained that he could not understand the show. He was quoted as saying "If there was a category for worst ever show, it would win hands down", whilst Drew Peacock of the Daily Mirror described it as being "excruciatingly awful", "amateurish" and "virtually pointless".[3] Meanwhile Dom Joly nicknamed the presenters "Tits", "Teeth" and "Mouth". TV Critic Charlie Brooker was the most vocal, writing in his Guardian Screenburn column that the show plumbed new depths for television news.
"Here is a TV show that makes any and all previous accusations of "dumbing down" seem like misplaced phoney-war hysteria. A show with a running order Heat magazine would consider frighteningly lightweight. A show which, incredibly, boasts Melinda Messenger as its intellectual touchstone."[4]
Ratings
Live from Studio Five commenced on Monday 14 September 2009 on Five amid much publicity in the media. However, the first episode fared poorly in the ratings, averaging a disappointing 476,000 viewers (or 2.6% of the television audience) over the hour, making it only the twelfth most-watched show on Five across Monday.[5] This further decreased to 434,000 on Tuesday[6], 370,000 on Wednesday[7] and 300,000 on Thursday.[8] By Tuesday, 22 September 2009, the show had lost half its audience, attracting just 230,000 viewers.[9]. The ratings later settled for the show, remaining between 300,000 and 400,000 viewers per day.
