Its name refers to the central questions of journalism known as the “Five Ws” — who, what, where, when and why. W5 was Canada's most-watched current affairs and documentary program. It was also North America’s longest-running prime time current affairs program. It inspired other similar programs, such as CBS’s 60 Minutes and the CBC’s The Fifth Estate.

It was cancelled as a stand-alone program in February 2024. W5 was retained as the name for CTV News’ investigative journalism unit.
