Put a status up about BB on tonight and someone who actually watches messaged me

Saying...

"i didnt know big bro started tonight i havent even seen an advert"

****ing Channel 5 are terrible at promoting this show.

Really gets on my nerves.

It really is up to the fans to get the word out for ratings via social networking and forums they may aswell pay us lol.

To be fair though this year has had better promo than last year.

I really don't think it has.

[Verbal]

I honestly had no idea until I saw an advert on Monday

[@bbuk_fans]

I really don't think it has.

Promos have aired on Comedy Central, ITV and Viva. (Which never happened last year)

Several articles in TV Mags

Front page on a TV mag

OK! spreads and adverts

Emma on Paul O' Grady

Rylan on This Morning

Last year I'm sure that the advert only ever aired on Channel 5 and the sister channels

They need billboards or bus posters.

Look at the poster above he hasn't seen any ads til Monday, my friend saw none and theres countless tweets about people not knowing BB was back on.

That should never happen they should make it an event which people are aware of not something they stumble across flicking channels or from their twitter feed.

Their promotions team suck.

Bang on right DL1985 I had no fecking idea - :nono:

[Crimson Dynamo]

did they advertise on DS or Tibb?

[user104658]

I wouldn't know it was starting if I didn't come on here. And because I know roughly when it's due back each summer. Other than that, I've seen ONE brief 15 second ad, during the ad break of Neighbours, and that was on Tuesday.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I rest my case lol.

[user104658]

... OK so I guess that means I would have known it was starting. But, I would only have found out on Tuesday, which would be far too short notice to get hyped :D.

[@bbuk_fans]

Lets just see how the ratings fair.

I do think though that the target audience for BB mainly only watch C5 for BB thats why they don't know.

I have seen 7 adverts today alone mostly on the mtv music channels

[armand.kay]

All my friends knew and i didn't even tell them :shrug:
