LOL at how much they are trying so hard to stop this from being axed.

IMO It should be this Channel 4 should be axing not Big Brother, didnt BB10 get more ratings than Hollyoaks does now a days?

Obviously HO isn't going to get like 5 million watching per episode 1-2 million has always been the shows average ratings, as I say it's done well to last 15 years so far.

Hollyoaks will end one day that is for sure but as long as the fans are enjoying and C4 want to keep showing it then it will continue, sure I heard the contract is nearly up soon.

There's different audience targets for different times. BB is on during Prime time which means that the audience targets will be higher to match the prices of advertising slots and such while with Hollyoaks it's on during the Tea Time slot which is usually dominated by the News so there's less pressure to score high ratings.

BB did terribly for it's time slot until CBB7 but Hollyoaks keeps a constant audience that is appropriate for the time slot. Basically, Prime Time is when most people are watching TV (Between 7:30PM - 11PM) while the Tea Time Slots has less viewership because people are eating their dinner/ picking up kids/ coming back from work ETC.

So basically their tiem slots are too different to compare.
