Channel 5 (also Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan on YouTube) is an American digital media company and web channel, billed as a "digital journalism experience".[2] The show is a spinoff to the group's previous project All Gas No Brakes which was based on the book of the same name (which is short for All Gas No Brakes: A Hitchhiker's Diary | True Stories From the Road... Written and Curated by Andrew Callaghan by Andrew Callaghan.) The channel is run by Andrew Callaghan, Nic Mosher and Evan Gilbert-Katz, and has amassed 1.8 million subscribers as of June 2022. Similar to the format of their former YouTube channel All Gas No Brakes, the show features gonzo journalism and man on the street interviews as well as longer-form documentary film. The show is primarily broadcast via Patreon with content later added to their YouTube channel.[3] An affiliate channel, Channel 5 Clips,[4] showcases humorous cuts from the longer content.
History
Following a contract dispute with Doing Things Media over creative control of and profit allocation for All Gas No Brakes, Callaghan, Mosher and Gilbert-Katz ended the business relationship and created Channel 5 in April 2021,[5] launching a Patreon page to support the channel. The team purchased a decommissioned news van and new production equipment, and released limited edition merchandise in September 2021.[6]
