According to reports, two of Five's commissioning editors are to leave the channel within the next few weeks, with a third departure expected later this year.
Broadcast reports that Ben Frow, controller of features and entertainment, and Sham Sandhu, controller of special events and pop features, are expected to announce their departure within the next week.
Frow was formerly head of features at Channel 4, before joining Five in 2003.
Sandhu joined in 2000, and was previously head of new media and channels at the BBC.
Lisa Opie, managing director of content, announced last week that the channel's commissioning teams were being restructured.
