I said the same thing a couple of weeks ago and Patrick virtually shouted at me that it was months away yet and I was to be patient. I'm glad someone else feels the same way. :)

[Mr CW]

I agree. We surely should of heard something by now .

[BigBroSite]

I was ranting about this earlier.

It's ridiculous that they haven't given us ANYTHING yet!

Do they actually want people to watch this bloody show!?

[Jords]

Theres still about a month to go yet, another week and the info will start flowing in.

Keep your own opinion, dont be patient because he tells you to, everyone has their own opinion

[CharlieO]

This. And they have said news is coming really soon so..

[Jarrod]

Remember that were not really into the middle of July. I bet the news will start coming in after another Week or so :D

[Lewis.]

Maybe it's all a hoax and we've all been pranked.

[Doogle]

Maybe it's all a hoax and we've all been pranked.

I've been thinking this since April. They just seem so unprepared.

[Lewis.]

I've been thinking this since April. They just seem so unprepared.

I think that they know they're gonna get a hell of a lot more viewers than what they would usually get for any show they've ever done and aren't bothering too much.

[Doogle]

Ikr, if I were them I'd be making sure it was amazing and what fans wanted, to ensure even more viewers tuned in. They're just turning more and more people away as the days go on. And all the "news" has been ****.

[Glenn.]

Maybe it's all a hoax and we've all been pranked.

:laugh3:

That would be hilarious :joker:

I think its better it all being a surprise tbh :/

[happybbfan]

Snd this to channel 5 and daily star http://followmeonline.weebly.com/contact5.html

[Lewis.]

I think its better it all being a surprise tbh :/

I agree. I love sitting down on launch night and not knowing anything!

[jsd]

I don't know what the rush is; look at the biggest show on TV - The X Factor, that leaves announcements to the very last minute and yet plenty of people still watch.

Most shows start promotion from about 3-4 weeks before hand once the TX date is confirmed. No point promoting something where and when you've no idea where viewers can watch it

[happybbfan]

send a direct link to channel5 and daily star about live feed here http://www.keeplivefeed.co.nr/ just copy and paste or add own message

But X Factor fans know the X Factor will be on and roughly around what time of year, there are Big Brother fans who dont even know the show has been renewed.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I really did think we start to get news & tit bits of rumors by now, considering it's launching on a other channel.

[jsd]

But X Factor fans know the X Factor will be on and roughly around what time of year, there are Big Brother fans who dont even know the show has been renewed.

Do they need to know many weeks in advance?

As I said, almost all TV shows follow a 3 week schedule pre-TX and I dont see why Channel 5 won't be the same. There's sod all point advertising a show which has no confirmed start date or time - and even if it did, who - outside core fans, who don't need the ads anyway - is going to remember it?

People don't need to know. Viewers decide "Ohh, I'll watch/record that tomorrow/next week" etc. Very, very few viewers plan their TV viewing months in advance.

The promotion will 99% follow:

TX-3 weeks: "Coming soon"
TX-2 weeks: "10th August" (or whatever date it's launching)
TX-7-10 days: "Next Thursday" (e.g.)
TX-2-6 days: "This Thursday"
TX-1 day: "Tomorrow"

Well noones gonna watch unless they know its coming back :rolleyes:

[joeysteele]

I think its better it all being a surprise tbh :/

Me too, I am happy just to wait and even if we hear nothing really until a week before it comes on, I will still be happy.

[emmetmcl]

Yeah, its hardly a bad thing to let people know about it.

Th earlier they advertise it, the more people who will know about it, thus the more people who will watch.

[Tony1111]

I think we should be seeing a change come next week, when it hits the month to go mark I'd expect there to be a big marketing campaign with the Presenters and house to be unveiled, lets also not forget they are making use of utilising Social networking media for alot of there publicity this time. I'd expect some Facebook updates will arrive very soon. :)

[AJ.]

Happy if they're doing it on purpose, I like the secrecy. Remember it's still 5 weeks of launch though!

[Jordan.]

Agreed.

I've not been able to get on TiBB much this week so everytime I do come on i've been expecting to see some massive news instead the forums is like http://www.radswiki.net/main/images/2/2f/Tumbleweed.gif

Even if they just give us a aerial pic, it'll get people excited and in the mood for BB again :bored:

[JohnnyBB]

theres 3 weeks to go till august right?

[jsd]

Well noones gonna watch unless they know its coming back :rolleyes:

I didn't say they didn't need to know, just that they don't need to more than a month in advance. A few weeks is more than enough time.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I didn't say they didn't need to know, just that they don't need to more than a month in advance. A few weeks is more than enough time.

But BB starts next month and noone knows its coming back lol.

Its on a new Channel now so they NEED to start the promo asap.

[Brekkie]

They haven't even got the office space in place yet, so I wouldn't hold your breath - and to be honest based on previos years it is still a little bit early for any actual news. Usually by now we'd only have a fake eye and fake houseplan in the Daily Star.

Also worth considering that the reason there is so little news is because there is so little interest in the media.

Well if theres so little interest in the media then even more reason to promote, promote, promote!!!

How else is anyone gonna know.

Considering Desmond owns Ok and The Daily Star i thought there would have been alot more ACTUAL news instead of all the rehashed crap about sex crazed housemates and love dens.

[BigBroSite]

Maybe it'll start coming through next week.

Hopefully anyway! Makes my job harder without news coming in! haha

Rumours from DS;

I have been informed that -

Emma Willis is the new Big Brother presenter.

CBB lasts 23 Days starts - Wednesday 10th August - Friday 2nd September.

Big Brother 12 is 12 weeks long (not 13) - starts Monday 5th September - to Friday 25th November.

Highlights shows will be from 10pm until 11pm each night.

Channel 5 will show BB Live from 11pm to 1am weeknights nights straight after the highlights shows resulting in Supercasino being shown 1 hour later than normal from 1am onwards.

There will be no saturday highlights show. A movie will be shown instead.

Little Brother won't be back - OK TV will report on big brother highlights weekdays during the series runs.

Fiver may show extra BB live during the afternoon hours. Still being discussed apparently.

No official big brother website or 24 hour web stream will be available just a facebook page / app.

No LF or saturday show :(

[happybbfan]

FAKE Josie is a reporter on BBLB

[AJ.]

Is it so inconceivable her roving reporter job will be on oktv instead of bblb?

Hope this is all true exept the LF & no saturday show.

[g17m]

just looked on DS, the person you are referring to has no source apart from a "person that has connections with the show"

heard that one before...

[CharlieO]

Rumours from DS;



No LF or saturday show :(

:( that sucks.

I assume saturday will be merged with sunday like in BB8.
And no live feed. :(

The thing i wish and hope is true is Emma being the presenter. but Josie is a roving reported for BBLB so thats fake, also its pointless not having a saturday show. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i want news now!

Clearly ill informed guess work. Firstly C5 don't show movies on Saturday nights, they show back to back US crime dramas and will need the slot even more with BB taking slots in the week. And secondly Fiver was replaced by 5* back in March.

As for the rest - actually a fixed 10pm slot with streaming straight after (rather than waiting for HMs to go to bed) would work quite nicely, and I've said all along they should forget the spin-offs and concentrate solely on the main show, so using OK! TV for snippets of info instead would be a wise move - as is axing the low rated Saturday show, which largely just recapped the eviction anyway, so BB fans aren't expected to commit to the show every single night for four months. (So considering they're all good moves, I'm guessing this "source" is bollocks!)

Finally no live feed is one thing, but no website at all is completely unbelieveable. Up until it's latter years the Big Brother website was the most popular entertainment site in the UK - so cutting off that potential revenue stream entirely - well even Channel 5 aren't that stupid.

Im talking about Big Brother news :rolleyes:

Well since he owns Channel 5 now you would think he would publisize BB in OK and The Daily Star alot more then he is.

Believe it or not millions of people buy the Daily Star every day.

Oh and i hate it when people say that the Saturday show "Largley recaps the eviction anyway" so no point in watching. Thats complete horse sh!t the actual eviction only takes up 10 minutes of the episode

[Doogle]

This had better not be true.

What a load of ****e.

[jsd]

Advertising costs money.

There's no need to advertise yet. What is someone going to do with the information? You don't need 6 weeks advance notification to watch a TV show. You need a week or two at most.

Advertising now would just waste money. People will just forget what it airs by next month.

[JohnnyBB]

desmonds a tite ass hes wont get his money out of his wallet at all.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What a load of ****e.

Its true.

And the news of the ****ing world had 9 million sold every Sunday

[jsd]

Its true.

And the news of the ****ing world had 9 million sold every Sunday

It's not true at all. You're just making things up.

The Daily Star had a circulation of around 700k last month (down 14%)

And the NOTW, for what i's woth, had a circulation of aroiund 2.5 million.

N&S execs tell the Independent that this “will give N&S a major opportunity to cross-promote” its brands.
obvious but ergh

Will you please read my fkucking post!

I said that The Daily Star have been rehashing the same old stories ie: bullsh!t non news.

Im saying that they have the OPPORTUNITY to advertise actual news but are not.

Im not sticking up for the Daily Star its the complete opposite.

Try reading mate and not jumping to conclusions.

Since 2009 - figs sit around the 2.8million range.

Easy enough to find the same data for the DS.

Millions of viewers also read the Daily Star so you cant deny that advertising Big Brother is back properley can only be a good thing to get word around.

For the third time: No, they don't.

Yes they do!

"Richard Desmond's Daily Star on Sunday has tripled its print run, from 600,000 copies to 2.2 million, as well as printing extra pages and launching a new supplement, OK! Extra."

Why dont you go search for some facts instead of posting absolute nonsense.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

C5 will start drip feeding BB News from next week - they eye details will be very soon as will details of show format and feed or lack of feed

Source?

difficult on let's just say someone who works in PR (I am connected to BBReturns on twitter)

Sure :rolleyes:

I've posted the facts before:

In June, Daily Star had circulation of around 700,000 and decreasing (down 12% on year)

And the Sunday edition has less than half at 300,000

http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/section.asp?navcode=161

These are the facts. Figures. Stats.

What you are giving is PR bull**** from Desmound. It doesn't mater how many they print (and FYI that statement is what they plan, not what's currently happening) but how much they sell - which is a miserable 300,000 - despite a current print run of 600,000 or so.

Ok so all im saying is they should be advertising BB coming back on Channel 5 in there and OK! None of these bullsh!t sex den stories but proper advertisments. Like a full double page spread. Somthing a reader cannot miss coz even if they only glance at it they would be aware it was coming back on 5.

Even if its 600,000 thats alot of people to advertise to then its down to word of mouth,

I Cant believe people on here are disagreeing with me by saying this.

Do you want it advertised or not?

BTW That link you gave me? This is what it says.

The Daily Star’s readership neither grew nor shrank in the twelve months to the end of December, as an estimated 1.57m readers looked over each of its issues in the period.

The Daily Star Sunday dropped three per cent to 919,000

And thats from the link you gave me lol

[Harry!]

Lack of promo is the real problem with the world today, not just TV.
