Tele 5 is a commercial television channel in Germany. The channel is largely known for showing classic American films and series and Japanese anime.

Tele 5 broadcasts from the Astra 1H, 1KR and 1L satellites and is uplinked by SES Platform Services.

The original Tele 5

The first Tele 5 was a direct successor to Germany's first music television channel called "Musicbox", which had aired on the same frequency from 1984 up to 1988. Prior to 1988, Silvio Berlusconi bought part of Musicbox and thus initiated the switch from music television channel Musicbox to the generalist channel Tele5, which then broadcast from 11 January 1988 to 31 December 1992. The shows of Tele5 were still produced in the same Munich building as had been those by Musicbox, a music video show named Musicbox' remained part of the regular program schedule of Tele5, and several show hosts transferred to the channel.

During its four year lifespan, Tele5 especially due to its childrens programming increasingly took market shares from Leo Kirch's German television networks, which prompted Kirch to buy the channel in 1992 and convert it into DSF (Deutsches Sportfernsehen, German Sport Television) on 1 January 1993.

Bim Bam Bino

"Bim Bam Bino" was the name of a show for children, with TV shows for young viewers. A plush mouse called Bino served as "announcer" between the different TV series often consisting of animated shows, which included He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Bobobobs, The Raccoons, Filmation Ghostbusters, Around the World with Willy Fog, The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, Saber Rider, Queen Millennia, Captain Future, or Anne of Green Gables.

At the time, most of the other channels had a few weekly or daily series for children. Some channels had "double features" with two shorter shows running "back to back". With"Bim Bam Bino", Tele 5 was the only channel that had a big program block for children and teens. Only a few hours at first, later the entire afternoons and early evenings. At the time the channel went off air, "Bim Bam Bino" made up the biggest part of Tele 5's program and ran from about 9am to 6 or 7pm. Many TV shows that are considered cult today (older Anime (, etc.), 80s and 90s US sitcoms, animation and movies) ran on Tele 5.

The new Tele 5

In April 2002, the company Tele München Gruppe relaunched the channel.
