Fan Sites Press Release??

[Nick.B]

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question here....
Out of curiousity, have any of the Big Brother fan sites been sent the Press Pack this afternoon - which allegedly should contain the House Images, under embargoment until Saturday 5th June 00:01

I have seen a few people state that they haven't recieved the press pack yet and I was just wondering. From what I know, the press office closes at 6PM?

Many Thanks,
Nick

All the main fansites have been quiet for hours now, no tweets/articles, nothing. So I'd imagine they've got them.

im suprised nick hasnt got it yet though as his site is a proper fansite.

[President]

I told you. It sounds like they're not going to be sent to any fansite. Only the big media websites such as The Sun and Daily Star will get it IMO.

the house pics won't be released in a press release, this is the email i got from charles fearn

Big Brother 11 House pictures will be avliablle up on the pres site tomorrow to download

So no fansites are getting them afterall? Christ :shocked:

[brenhague1]

WE have not received ours either but Kate C did say earlier today we would recieve it early evening

[Nick.B]

I'm very surprised it hasn't been sent out - as of yet anyway.

I do believe tabloids, Magazines and Digital Spy have had the press pack since yesterday afternoon. However, fan sites have not got the press pack from what I can see from what you guys have said.

I mean, I know we got them last year, the year before etc... for as long as I can remember fan sites (or at least I have) have recieved them every year for BB and CBB.

I don't know how Big Brother fan sites are expected to be able to run smoothly without co-operation from Channel 4 with such stories. This is such a "big" story - house pictures being revealed and we haven't got them.

I will of course keep my eyes peeled on my Inbox still.

LMAO After all your work last night at trying to get them.

I'd LOL if you made a blog and stuff and found out they didn't get them, everyone would be like..

'Aw lovely site Jack' and you'd just say 'What? **** this site, no house pics, no site **** it.'

Ah, thank you for that. I will keep my eyes peeled on my Inbox then :) I thought the press office closed at 6PM, so that is why I asked.

I am quite shocked about it too !!

Ah, I see! That's quite shocking to say they won't be released in a press pack.

I haven't had anything. The press service for fansites this year has been shoddy.

Hopefully it will get better when the series is running. There just hasn't been an awful lot of co-operation from Channel 4 with "pre-BB News" ...

[Glenn.]

Do you reckon it will be sent out in the next few hours? Before the 00:01 embargo?

[President]

If you're lucky.

I'm not very sure. You will just have to keep your eye on your Inbox for now, and if you find it hasn't been sent, they will be available on the channel 4 press site tomorrow (from 00:01)

Is this an attempt to get everyone to visit the Official Site at 00:01 instead of visiting fansites do you think?

Cause how are fansites meant to report on the pics at 00:01 if they don't have them?

[President]

On the Channel 4 Press site, when you go to 'Pictures Publicity', which bit will the house pictures be in? Is it 'Channel 4 weeks'/library/future highlights?

Which bit is it usually in?

That is exactly my point...
It's going to be a mad race to the Channel 4 press site, to get them, save them, upload them. It's going to be at least 00:05 - 00:10 before we get the pictures out.
Where as if we had them, we could have already got the post written up - but it on a timer and get it released at exactly 00:01.

They should be in the BB part.

[President]

They should be in the BB part.
What BB part? Do you mean 'Week 23'? :)

Ive just emailed Charlie to see whats going on. Kate hasn't replied to me all day neither has Emily.

When/If you get a reply, let us know what he said! :thumbs:

Are you 100% sure?

[Glenn.]

Yeah I will do.

Apparently, Charlie will tell you they shall be available on the press site from 00:01

Kate has an auto-message set to her email telling you that she has no access to email. If you are a fansite, forward your requests to bigbrotherpress@channel4.co.uk - who will most likely not reply until the morning :)

Last thing I received from them was the live feed PR at midday, I would've expected the pics with that (embargoed, obviously)

That is also the last thing I recieved from the Press Office.

[Jase]

[BB11UK]

Well I'm guessing celebrity blogger Christopher Couture (www.briti-shh.blogspot.com) has received one.

He tweeted 2hours ago: ChrisCoutureUK "BB11 Press Pack. Ooooh, exciting! xoxo"
