Ben Frow, Jeff Ford's replacement at C5, had the role 2004-2007, rejoined in February. Could be great for the show, commissioned a lot of reality stuff for the channel during his first stint so it's an area he knows well, some of it successful, some not, but, on the other, he's part of the old regime who (at least in 2009, admittedly two years after he left and they did change their mind on CBB towards the end) weren't interested in the show. It's notable that he seems to have been behind Brian's ousting, so clearly recognises the brand's importance and willing to get his hands dirty to make sure it's working. What do you think?

[Headie]

Apparently there's rumours that he is wanting to bring Live Feed back.

[Jarrod]

:idc: Apparently. Ugh i don't know i hope he does.

[Sawyer]

You beat me to posting this. This dude is definately the right guy to move BB On from jeff fords mistakes.

[Vanessa]

I really hope it's true! We need more live feed. At least a couple of hours everyday. :hugesmile:

Must be true then.

[Jarrod]

Must be true then.

Now i didn't say it was true. It's highly unlikely.

Basically, i think he's took the result's off the BB survery's they were running on the c5 website like between 6-12months ago.

And come to the conclusions based off those results want the viewers want etc.
Whether he act's on them all, who know's. But ousting Brian is the first step to BB regaining it's former glories.

Do you remember some of the questions? I think I saw a link to it but didn't bother, assuming it was just something the digital team had knocked up to look busy.

[SSL2012]

There was definately a question about the presenter, and how much live feed one would watch per week, i answered honestly.

It asked how often would you watch the highlights show, to questions about the sponser at the time, and i think there was one about the time BB was shown.

I guess it was also trying to establish whether you were, a casual viewer, hardcore fan, or a randomner knowing nothing about it etc.

It took about 5minutes i think, can't remember most of it. :/

There was a live streaming question. I answered saying we need more.

[Josy]

Yeah I think it was me that linked that survey up, there was definitely questions about the presenters and live feed on it.

[Vanessa]

Some more live feed would be great. We got next to nothing until now. :(

[Jarrod]

YES! There was a question about presenters! It was something like who's your favourite or do you like Brian ect.

[g17m]

I seriously hope this guy makes BB like it was on Channel 4 again. Not exactly the same, but better than the dross Channel 5 have spat out over the last 2 years
