Big Brothers Big Profit!
News has come in recently that the 2013 collection of series from Big Brother (inc. Celeb) held an impressive £32.3 million in profit, well up from the previous 2012 collection of series, which held a loss at £16.6 million. 2013's series were clearly the show's most favourable since moving to Channel 5, beating near all records set from both 2011 and 2012 years in terms of ratings with Big Brother Secrets and Lies appealing to 1.9 million official viewers, meanwhile the Celebrity versions appealed to 2.2 million, which although less than the previous winter edition succeeded with the later edition at 3.0 million viewers.
How do you think the 2014 run went? + or - ?
Regardless to say, the £32.3 million in profit is significant for Channel 5, particularly considering it is the channel's most popular and some may say, valuable, show, and is strong in terms of C5's annual budget (before Viacom takeover) of £200 million.
Do you lot believe the 2012 loss of £16.6 million is a sigh of relief considering the channel went ahead with a further 3 series the year after, despite such a loss? And does this secure Big Brother's future for 2015 in terms of money?
Will keep this thread updated once the consolidated amount for 2014 is released.
