[Gusto Brunt]

Anyone know? Thanks. :)

[Pete.]

Hopefully. :)

There's live feed tomorrow for one hour after BOTS.

Then there's 30 minutes live feed Friday night after BOTS.

I'd assume after that we'll get the usual live feed after evictions each week or every other week.

Hope we get plenty of videos throughout the day on the website and the app

Stop tying to make live feed happen, it's not going to happen.

[Jamesy]

But it is happening. Tomorrow for one hour and Friday for 30 mins. :umm2:

[Jøsh]

Depending how many weeks it runs for, there should be at least 2 hours of feed this series. (inc. 1 hour on 12/5)

[sampvt]

Why does everyone want to see whats happening. Cant you all wait.

[Jarrod]

The only live feed will be the Live from the House episodes we get.

I used to like the live feed in the afternoons.

It was great. It would be on about 1.30pm to 3.45pm.

C4, not C5.

Its not bb without a live feed for me but I guess c5 are lazy

[Jake.]

What more annoys me is how we got 2 hours a night with BB14/CBB12 and it was supposedly a website hit (with Ben Frow saying it wasn't 'going anywhere')

[Jamesy]

I remember the convenience of it being online during BB11. Loved putting it on while doing school work and stuff.

[Denver]

I don't care for 24 hour live feed anymore

It's not lazy - I've mentioned this time after time that the Live Feed just ISN'T cost effective. The have no need to hire a live director to be in charge 24/7 because there isn't enough of a demand for it. It's only the die hard fans that are crying out for it. The live feed isn't that needed anymore.

I disagree but see your point

[Jarrod]

I know why you disagree and again that's fair enough. However the live feed isn't cost effective for Channel 5 to produce. That's the point. We have the main show and the social media side now. I don't think the majority of people have the time to sit and watch any live feed.

The only piece of live feed I think would be beneficial to fans would be the 12pm-12am thing which they did in 2013.

I think its the digital spy crew who want it mainly they still think its 2005

That's all being said but out of the 2-3m viewers how many work or study during the day? They would be lucky to get 200k viewers each day.

[Jamesy]

One or two hours live feed every night would be pretty good. Surely not that expensive to show on Channel 5 or 5*, plus it would probably get more viewers than the usual programming which is just a bunch of repeats.

I think we all realise 24/7 live feed is out the question. But it's strange they haven't bothered considering something that's on nightly. When live feed has been shown on C5 these past few years it has done pretty well.

Another issue is that Channel 5 don't have enough contracted hours for live stuff. They only contract enough to show the odd half an hour on Friday nights etc.

[mrmattybeck1]

30 minutes a week is an insult through I would be happy with one hour after bots Monday to Friday

[Jason.]

I don't see why they don't introduce an internet feed for a reasonable cost, like they did with BB11.

The people who want it will get it, and pay for it, and Channel 5 make money. Therefore, everyone is happy.

It also solves the problem for the silly "cost effective" excuse, as this way they make profit from it in return.

[jackc1806]

They're contracted like 10 hours a series or something, can't go over.

HOPEFULLY, they had the initiative to negotiate some more live feed with the new contract, but that wouldn't be seen til next year. Despite that, I'd imagine we'll only see te occasional hour or half hour on Friday still.
