PBC Five (formerly called PBC5 both in print and on-air) is the fifth and youngest domestic channel of the Pacitalian Broadcasting Corporation's television services. Launched 1st November, 1986, it was the final domestic step in the PBC's foray into multi-channel television provision, following PBC Two and PBC Three, which had launched in 1982, and PBC Four, which had launched three months earlier. It currently broadcasts in digital high-definition and its live concerts are currently available through ActiveCast interactive services.

PBC Five is a live-programming and films channel. While PBC Four offers more independent cinema choices, Five broadcasts an assortment of more memorable and more popular films at all hours of the day, stopping to broadcast live events like concerts, breaking news stories (by simulcasting the feed from PBC One, PBC Two or PBCNews24), important public speeches or government meetings. In the latter two capacities it competes directly with TVRepubblica, a cable and satellite-only channel which is run by the Pacitalian government and runs only legislative and government affairs programming.
