5 Later has now started on Freeview as a 15 minute slot between 2.15 and 2.30am. It is currently opting out from Channel 5 +1 for the last 15 minutes until Channel 5 +1 closes down to make way for Top Up TV Anytime 3.
When Top Up TV ends, the "TUTV Anytime 3" hours (2.30 to 5am) will be returned to Channel 5 +1. During those hours, however, Channel 5 +1 isn't allowed to carry a repeat of the Super Casino programme. Maybe 5 Later is only intended to be a late night opt-out from Channel 5 +1, during the hours when it is unable to show a repeat of Super Casino.
As it would technically be a time-share, it should be relatively easy to add this to other platforms, such as Virgin Media.

Or BT Sport Preview, GOLD and Home will close on Freeview when Top up TV closes so that 5Later can launch.
The owners of Channel 5 have a lot of 18+ Channels so one of them may launch on Freeview over night using Channel 5 +1 slot.
Sorry - just seen you was saying the same thing last night.
