The double CD package 5 Live 01 was released in 2001. The seemingly rather odd title was apparently coined by JJ Burnel, since there were five in the band, it's a live album and was to be released in '01. This album represents the first appearance of Baz Warne as the band's new guitarist, following the departure of John Ellis, and is made up from a collection of recordings taken throughout 2000. Sound quality is excellent, with crisp, clear listening throughout.
Five Live is the overnight sustaining service for almost all BBC Local Radio stations between 1am and 5am when Up All Night is broadcast.
Five Live occasionally collaborates with the BBC Asian Network (Bob Shennan is controller of both stations) - in 2005 the General Election results programme was simulcast.
Five Live's commercial rival is TalkSPORT, but unlike the commercial television station, Sky Sports, TalkSPORT has acquired few exclusive rights, and non-commercial radio, represented by Five Live and the BBC's local radio stations, remains dominant in radio sport broadcasting in the UK.
