Start date revealed

[DigitalSid]

Friday 4th January, 9pm-10pm. Shortest live launch show in years. BOTS is on an hour later.

[MTVN]

Is that earlier in January than normal?

[Jordan.]

1 hour for a launch show? :crazy:

[Josiah.]

Maybe C5 is doing a pre-launch show like CBB1 back in 2001.

[Marcus.]

i heard 7 of jan

[Marcus.]

i heard it was going to be 7 jan

[Jarrod]

7th is a Monday, so very unlikely. I thought it would be either:
Wednesday 2nd Jan
Thursday 3rd Jan
Friday 4th Jan

[Jarrod]

Is that earlier in January than normal?

Usually CBB starts the first week in January so between 2nd-7th this year

[Vanessa]

Is that earlier in January than normal?

Love your sig and avatar! Berlusconi! :joker:

[DigitalSid]

It'll probably move to the Thursday and be replaced on the Friday with the first highlights. There's a repeat on Thursday so it wouldn't take them anything to change it in the final schedules but the above is how it currently stands.

[arista]

Is that earlier in January than normal?


Yes

[Jarrod]

It's not really as early as you think.

CBB3: January 6th
CBB4: January 5th
CBB5: January 3rd
CBB6: January 2nd
CBB7: January 3rd
CBB9: January 5th

Obviously only included the January launches.

[Maia]

1 hour?!?!

[Jarrod]

1 hour?!?!

It's not the Launch show dear Mollie. :pipe: This thread is quite misleading as it's not confirmed.

Thank god :laugh: Would've been ridiculous

It's not really confirmed until it's confirmed by C5. They listed the CBB8 launch and CBB9 launch nights wrong

The listings are provided directly from Channel 5, to Red Bee who then provide them to Digiguide, this is the current confirmed date and time.

You need an account, they're not available freely till two weeks ahead (one week on digiguide).

[Jarrod]

You need an account.
I have one.

[DigitalSid]

I have one.

Premium? It's there.

[Petershaw1984]

Yeah baby its coming back

[Jack_]

One hour is ridiculous, so this better not be the case.

I was expecting Sunday 6th though.

[Marsh.]

Not arsed in the slightest.

[Jake.]

An hour? Clearly wrong?

[DigitalSid]

An hour? Clearly wrong?

They will almost certainly change that when it gets closer, there's a repeat on in the same slot the night before that looks like they chose for it's switchability with the real show when the final schedules are revealed and it's too late for the others to change the competition against it, the launch will move there and this will be the first highlights show.

[mizzy25]

ooh cant wait, it will pass my january over with quite nicely

[joe199998293]

One hour Launch? Maybe more Celebrities coming at a Later date? Like 7 in on Launch night then 4 more another night??

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Can't wait for CBB to start, but 1 hour for a launch show seems hell of short to me.

[Jake.]

Only good thing about a short launch would mean that we wouldn't have a million z-elebs

[Gstar]

My guess is that they'll extend it by 30 minutes, which is still quite short imo

[Me. I Am Salman]

I really hope it isn't an hour

[reece(:]

This really is overexposure, too many BBs in one year it seems.

[Marcus.]

yeah it is
