According to Oathy on Twitter.

This is actually quite interesting, and further confuses me as to why Channel 5 still refuse to give it to us. What's the point in running it for no-one to see? Surely, if anything should be put down to 'cost', it should be running a live feed without an audience?

Obviously Rylan makes no secret of the fact that he gets live feed in his dressing room

[MB.]

They have to run it because they're the producers and otherwise they'd have no idea what's happening in their own show

[Headie]

Is this the guy from DS who emails Ben Frow

[Greg!]

Well obvs. They're not going to film them for just a few hours a day

[Ross.]

How else would they make the highlights show

[Headie]

(but yeah isn't it obvious the producers/editors have access to live feed )

Imagine if they didn't have Live Feed, you'd get housemates being called to the diary room like 5 hours after an altercation happened

[*mazedsalv**]

Yeah he's the same guy who emails Ben Frow.

Well obviously they still have to run it, but the fact that they're paying staff to edit it on the fly for legal reasons is interesting because they don't have to do that. If no-one's watching, they can just record it and edit it once the footage has been collected.

Like....

[Marsh.]

erm, obviously there's still a live feed. They still film 24/7.

But what's the point in the legal editing when it's never broadcast?

Do they actually still bother with the birdie noises? Whoever does that job is on one hell of a cushy job.

[Cal.]

Everyone wants a live feed now besides Viacom themselves. Ben Frow and the show runners want it now.

By the sounds of it, it's Frow that's putting a stop to it this time.

[Jordan.]

Where's the live feed?

Sssssssssssnake!

So they can control and show what they want the general viewing public to see.

Ben Frow caring...

[Headie]

Mess wasn't it Ben Frow's idea to bring back Vote to Evict for civillian BB, yet he's not bringing back Live Feed when that's far better than VTE ever was/is

Maybe 'legally edited' means the feed is on a 10 minute delay, and the live editors chop and cut out stuff not fit for broadcast/break Ofcom rules, then when the producers and highlights editors pick out what they want to show on the highlights they have very little editing to do, since the live editors have done the hard work.

Or Ben Frow is a tit, take your pick.

If one housemate was to say something like "my friend Selina used to be a prostitute" I doubt they would have that go out unedited to hundreds of employees, because if that got back to the aforementioned Selina she could sue for defame and the production team wouldn't have a leg to stand on as even with NDAs they wouldn't be able to trace who the person was who leaked it. And whether it's true or not, it's legally messy.

I reckon visual feeds are unedited internally but some audio is monitored 24/7 and cut by a much smaller team for the rest of the employees/visitors internally.

A public feed online would require further censoring, for example of them singing songs which they haven't got a license for, or perhaps talking about their contract. The broadcast version would require further still editing to comply with Ofcom and the watershed.
