Are Channel 5 Dead without Big Brother?

[dojo88]

I think Channel 5 will be DEAD if they (god forbid) get rid of BB, it's Channel 5's flagship show, every channel needs a flagship show, like how BBC has Strictly and ITV has The X Factor, the reason why Channel 4 has declined since the got rid of BB was because there is no flagship show and there's nothing worth watching on Channel 4.

If C5 want to beat C4 in ratings and make more money, they MUST keep Big Brother, they CANNOT let us BB fans down for a second time, they need to think about their audience, NOT the type of channel THEY want it to be, that's just pure selfishness!! :mad:

yes, I only have the channel on for big brother

To be honest no I don't think so.

Even though BB is over its still beating Channel 4 in the ratings on a regular basis. The average ratings they are currently getting are between 1.2 to 1.6 with shows like "Cant pay for it...We'll take it" and "The nightmare neighbour next door".

I really hope BB goes to another network and all the best to Channel 5.

Channel 5 really need to decide what they're doing with BB - they can either leave it as it currently is and lead it to a natural death in about a year's time, or they can decide to really make it the focal point of their channel and go all out on advertising, throwing loads of money into it, etc etc (the former's what's going to happen, let's face it)

Yes, I don't watch channel 5 for any other reason

All they need to do is get rid of the theme and do normal noms again

Considering I haven't had it one once since CBB finished, I think so.

X-Factor may be ITV's 'flagship' show, but it gets nowhere near I'm A Celebrity in ratings.

I'd say Corrie is ITV's flagship show. That's what they rely on for the regular ratings all year round.
