Ben frow confirms Viacom wants to renew big brother contract

[JohnnyBB]

Channel 5 has fought off interest from rival broadcasters to renew its deal to air Big Brother and its celebrity spin-off.

The broadcaster, which is close to being acquired by Viacom in a £450m deal, is set to strike a deal with Endemol to extend its rights to the entertainment format.

Director of programmes Ben Frow, speaking at the Edinburgh International TV Festival, said that he planned to renew the agreement, which is understood to expire at the end of the year.

This comes despite interest from ITV, which was reported to be looking at the international hit format for its female skewing network ITVBe earlier this year.

The former TV3 programme boss added that he would commission comedy for the channel for the first time in many years.

He said that it would potentially work with future sister-channel Comedy Central on shows.

“Comedy is something that we need to get our teeth into,” he said. “Channel 5 should be evolving and trying new things.”

Frow added that he would limit the number of benefits-themed shows going forward following recent C5 shows including Benefits Britain and forthcoming doc Gypsies On Benefits & Proud.


The channel’s relationship with GroupM Entertainment is also likely to continue. Frow said that working with the content arm of the advertising agency gave him an “additional budget” and that it allowed him to save cash for shows that would not work for GME.

“It does help me to manage the money,” he said. ​

So the same people will remain in charge? :umm2:

[Josy]

Well this is good news :shrug:

So the same people will remain in charge? :umm2:

The same people will always remain in charge because it's Endemol that runs BB not the channel that broadcasts it.

It means we may have no chance of getting LF back though I suppose.

[Marsh.]

Well this is good news :shrug:

I know but I was hoping they'd take action with them. It just looks like they'll renew and the show can continue however endemol like. :sad:

[JoshBB]

Give it back to Channel 4 :(

[Samm]

I guess it's good news

But the channel that runs the program has to have a say in things does it?

[Josy]

I guess it's good news

Yes because apparently Endemol want to give live feed but c5 doesn't.

Hopefully Viacom give it the go ahead.

[Samm]

All they need to do next year is give us Live feed, VTS for both BB & CBB and no series twist.

That would probably be more easy to run then having to plan a twist everyday

[Pronshi]

They won't due that. VTE makes far to much revenue.
The only reason VTS is in place for CBB is to stop people like Gary going who cost a lot of money to book.

Well if anything this CBB proves that we don't need constant twists, the series has been constant drama, arguing, funny stuff and more without any interference at all from the producers, yeah we had that small twist with Dee on launch but it wasn't anything that massively affected the house..they have dumped this scrap heap thing on us now though but surely they should see just by the past 5 days that it's best left to flow naturally..

We really do need them to stop ****ing about with noms too.

[Marsh.]

The Dee thing wasn't even a twist, just a small task which was ok. If they have to do something I'd rather it was something inconsequential than bringing back more 10 year old twists.

[Samm]

The only reason VTS is in place for CBB is to stop people like Gary going who cost a lot of money to book.

They did it for BB12 & BB13 and I'm sure VTS will make them more money as most people want to keep there favorite in like the Get Jale out campaign to save Ashleigh, If they have done VTS I'm sure they would get a lot more money

[Marsh.]

Exactly, they did it for 12 and 13 and reverted back to VTE as it clearly made them more.

[Marsh.]

Yes because apparently Endemol want to give live feed but c5 doesn't.

Hopefully Viacom give it the go ahead.

Fingers crossed.

[armand.kay]

Give it back to Channel 4 :(

No thank you they ran the show to its grave and c5 gave it a new lease of life.

Lies spotted.

[Samm]

Viacom are also a high earning company so maybe they might go with VTS, also I saw somewhere on a article about BB and Viacom that Viacom care more about the production of there shows then the news and attention it gets, I guess that's a good thing

[MB.]

Yay

I wouldn't be surprised if the show keeps themes but becomes...

You need to realise that Viacom isn't replacing Endemol, they're only taking ownership over Channel 5.

Yeah but most those shows have a new cast of people who aren't really known. Past bb have deepened in kiss and tell housemates for media attention but if what Sam said is true and they don't care much about attention we may get less.

Hopefully we just get live feed and VTS and no ****ing about with nominations. I think Endemol will definitely take advantage of Viacom having loads of money to spend, they clearly know how to run BB because of some series' they have produced and they seemingly get so many formats right (US, Can, Aus) but not ours:shrug:

I don't C5 would have axed it, with or without Viacom. For them BB is really the only show that constantly gets over a million over the course of 3 months, the only shows that beat it are CBB and the odd one off documentary.

[Cal.]

Delusion detected. Straight jacket prepared...

How am I deluded? They ruined their own show and cancelled it because nobody could be arsed in correcting it:laugh:

They got it so right up until BB9 and then **** it up for BB10 and BB11, they ruined it and the things we see now in BB were started by Channel 4 (crappy and cheesy editing, songs, more Marcus involvement)

Not really. I think the production team grew lazy in BB10, but the show was growing stale overall.

But I thought BB11/UBB was good. Not the best ever but a decent enough series for a show that had long since gone passed its best. :laugh:

Like the editing wasn't as bad as channel 5 took it in BB12.

BB10 had the worst hype around it ever as well, the crowd for BB15 in a standard eviction was twice the size of BB10's launch night crowd:umm2:

I don't think the editing in BB10 was that bad, BB11 just randomly changed and I think Channel 5 picked up on it because BB11's ratings picked up, but they seem to not realize that its only because it was billed as the last ever Big Brother. I liked UBB, don't get me wrong, but BB11 was awful and bland besides Corin and Sam.

I think BB11's changed because it was the last one and they had the whole carnival theme.

But re-watching some episodes a few months ago the editing was nowhere near the extent of BB12. That was just Towie on ecstasy.

I liked the BB11 launch. :hehe: It was something different for a change. Which is the problem with C5, they need to revamp.

[Cal.]

Tbh I don't mind different editing styles I just hated how tacky the editing was in bb12

The editing hasn't been bad at all for CBB, I think BB15's was really tacky but then again it was the first civilian I'd watched since BB11.

I've never seen BB12 but I think unless they pulled out BB5-BB7 quality it was always going to look bad, I thought it was original but I was like 'whut where's the cars' when first watching in 2010. I wouldn't mind C5 going back to the cars now tbh, the eye-studio thing is already tired.

[armand.kay]

Yeah cbb has been good and bb15 is nothing if you watch cbb10 and bb12 :vom:

[ruiphillips]

And Davina :bawling:

So bad. All of the stands are an eyesore.

Is it supposed to make the crowd seem bigger? :laugh:

[Cal.]

If the outside stage is the same for next year bb http://i.minus.com/iBknkGpWnMMrp.gif

They need to demolish it all and build a studio across the lot that they walk to in the break, it's all so cramped and so boring.

[Marsh.]

Where is the BOTS studio located?

[Cal.]

So bad. All of the stands are an eyesore.

Is it supposed to make the crowd seem bigger? :laugh:

Eh, probably. The crowd looks far bigger than BB10's crowds but would probably look even smaller in comparison if they went back to the same set-up.

[Cal.]

Um btw I don't know this so don't hate:umm2:

Is this the same house as Channel 4?

[armand.kay]

Yes, new ones who become the kiss and tell tabloid fodder.

I would rather that than boring people who were only casted because they slept with someone famous and they can't even talk about it in the house.

[Firewire]

Um btw I don't know this so don't hate:umm2:

Is this the same house as Channel 4?

Yup, same house since BB3

[Marsh.]

Um btw I don't know this so don't hate:umm2:

Is this the same house as Channel 4?

Yes.

In BB12 and BB13 you could see almost the exact same layout from the BB11 house. :laugh:

That's why everyone was so surprised at the start of BB14, it was the first proper rebuild channel 5 had done since taking over. You could see the same house redecorated for two main series and 4 CBBs.

[Cal.]

Yup, same house since BB3

Um wtf it's so different:laugh:

So basically they just made one major overhaul with the outside studio and the house layout and think that they never have to change anything again:worry:

[armand.kay]

Um btw I don't know this so don't hate:umm2:

Is this the same house as Channel 4?

Yeah they've used the same house since bb3, the layout really hasn't changed much since bb9 they were really minor changes for bb13 and bb14 was the first kinda big change.

[Cal.]

OMG, the houses looked so much better back then and I don't know why

[armand.kay]

You need to realise that Viacom isn't replacing Endemol, they're only taking ownership over Channel 5.

Can you not let us hope for a better future http://i.imgur.com/Hnrm4TJ.png

I genuinely don't think they would be able to get a big enough audience to fill the ground that it could hold which is why the stands work

Am the only person the outside set doesn't matter to? I mean yeah it would be nice if it changed but meh. I'd rather they spent the money on changing the interior of the house.

It kind of adds to the "same old, same old" for me though. Really just looks boring.

And I hate it in general, it's too garish, busy and that spinning eye? Don't get me started. :laugh:

It's the same with BOTS. Sick of the same studio and the same audience members spouting the same sh*t.

I feel like I'm in therapy, I'll stop now.

[Cal.]

Yes I agree

I used to love them getting out of the cars

Same part of the excitement imo

couldnt they get rid of the eye and the runway and just put barriers either side and then have the car pull up at the bottom and then the housemate walk down it and then up the stairs

C4 couldn't give the slightest of ****s about BB. Their last few shows were absolute meh and then it was axed and left in the ****. The hate for C5 and lust for C4 by so many is something I always found weird. It's like C4 never did half the stupid **** C5 does themselves.

I like them now they've started doing something original with them like BB15 and this celeb series. Even though they are needed because the majority of housemates these days need to be reminded to breath let alone that they're up for eviction.

Love the memorial wall I just didn't like the effect they used for bb12-14 I like the clear images/ the bb15 ones because the matched the theme.

Yeah, since they incorporated them into the design of the house like the TV screens last year it's better.

Just random light blocks in BB12 was :umm2:

I like that they've brought back the "fact reading" in CBB as they enter but Emma should do that.

[armand.kay]

Next year they should have the tall full body ones they have on bots

[ruiphillips]

Yes and evictions.

Channel 4's only dumb mistake tbh

I cringe at the sound of some fat person sitting on the edge of a piano when the doors close behind the housemate on launch.

And Marcus's thunderbirds impression on eviction nights.

I'm used to music on evictions now tbh, at least it's better than when they did it on C4 and played it right as they left so we couldn't hear the reaction. I don't see the point of the countdown/siren noise, though

[Marsh.]

Oh yeah, that started in BB11 too. :hehe:

I think they use it now to block out the boos, sometimes it's blasting too loud.

[zakman440]

What I really really want them to do re the eviction set is use last years BBAU eye stage instead of the one they have at the moment. I think it would look awesome, mainly because it's so simple.

I'm afraid my favourites are the very simply BB3/4 BB6/7 sets.

Just one set of normal stairs from a normal door down to an abnormal crowd.

[zakman440]

No, I mean just the eye, not the seats around. If they had just that LED eye and the runway, with the crowd space the same as it is around the current eye stage, I reckon it'd look awesome!

I only watched BB10 (most recent) and loved it! It's cheaply produced but it's what I like about it. BBUK tries too hard to look like it has a big budget which is what ruins it.

The thing they did with her coming out of smoke at the top of the stairs was a bit :umm2: though.

I think channel 5 looked at BB11 and thought that's how BB should be rather than realising it was because it was the last one so it was a party theme. :laugh:

Big Brother: VH1 Girls

This :worship:

I'm happy Viacom want to renew it because they have connections with VH1 girls and know how to contact/negotiate with them (see: Frenchy), but it's also good to know that other channels have tried to bid for it too, as that means if Ch5 suddenly drop it, others will be interested in keeping it alive.
