Confirming the deal, Five's music manager Martin Price told CMU: "Working with Ricall gives us immediate access to one of the world's largest music catalogues. We trialed the system and our producers were delighted with the way it works - it makes the whole process of researching and sourcing music extremely simple which saves time and money."
Ricall founder and boss guy Richard Corbett added: "We are thrilled to be working with Five. I think this deal represents a paradigm shift in the way in which the media industry accesses and uses music. What Ricall offers is a tremendous advantage to the television business, particularly given the small amount of time producers often have to find particular tracks. It's a great chance for us to demonstrate this with a significant network such as Five."
