Caprica 5 was a television news channel which provided reports of Colonial happenings to the general Caprican population. As a secondary function, the station broadcasted events from other colonies, such as a Pyramid game on Gemenon, although the station had a tendency to override the broadcast signal in order to show news about Caprica.
The station's logo was an italicized 5 made of pixels superimposed upon a hexagon. A larger 5 of the same design can be seen to the logo's left, fogged into a blue stripe.
Like many Earth news agencies, Caprica 5 had a news ticker rolling across the bottom of the screen that displayed stock market reports.
This television station was seen at two points during the Miniseries. The first time, Dr. Gaius Baltar was giving an interview from his estate to Kellan Brody, the host of the talk show In the Spotlight which focused on Capricans who stole the headlines with their accomplishments. The second time was during the Cylon attack. In this instance, Brody filled in as the station's anchorwoman and was telling her audience to remain calm before an explosion was heard in the background. Seconds later, the station or broadcast antenna was destroyed, evidenced by the screen reverting to static. Neither Brody nor Caprica 5 were heard from or mentioned again in the series.
