:facepalm:

[Babayaro.]

The day I go away. Great.

[reece(:]

Perched for my fave to go out within the first few weeks, as per! Hopefully it's before I go on hols.

[T*]

YAS that it's not on my bday

[Cal.]

The evictions are back to being one 90 minute show instead of the hour/break/30 minute show for CBB19.

[Jake.]

I wanted sunday :(

I preferred two shows in the CH4 era but CH5 couldn't make atmosphere at a festival so idc

[y.winter]

"go away" :smug:

[Greg!]

Quite excited for it tbh! :clap1:

for a second i thought that was saying that the launch was starting at 11pm

i didn't realise things were that bad just yet!

[Greg!]

Also shook at a whole HOUR of live feed.

[RichardG]

they're really going all out this year eh

[Jason.]

No surprise, it was like that for BB17. They only have the half hour break in January because of Lip Sync Battle.

[BBDodge]

Bring it on.

Good move.

[y.winter]

All the highlights shows will air at 10PM (Evictions at 9 as usual).

This is good because it won't clash with Love Island and hopefully the ratings won't completely flop

[y.winter]

Most of the days but not all. I remember BB17 having HL shows at 9.

LI's launch date hasn't been confirmed yet and I honestly think they're waiting until after the election as we would've had a date by now, if it was launching anytime soon.

I swear that BB17's 10PM highlight shows usually rated better than the 9PM ones though..

[RichardG]

doesn't it get a better share at 10pm or something idk

[Jake.]

doesn't it get a better share at 10pm or something idk

It does

[thisisdanny]

Can't be having Love Island and Big Brother launch on the same day, hope LI wait until after the election

[reece(:]

Big Brother will be a red button feature soon enough.

[StevenS]

I'm excited. Maybe we might get house pictures next week. Not sure of what day though.

That's a good thing. There is less competition airing at 10pm. A consistent time-slot should help too.

[Glenn-C]

Perched. We'll probably get the house pictures on Monday, it was a week before last year wasn't it?

[Glenn.]

I'm at work smh

Red button? I haven't heard that terminology since about 2005!

[Nicky91]

:amazed:

5th June, can't wait to see all my BB friends on here again :hee:

[BB-Germany]

That's all pretty good tbh. Seems like they worked out a plan. Launching at the beginning of the week is smart as viewers can get hooked before the ratings go down on the weekend.

10pm is the best slot ratingswise and having it on every day same time is good as well.

Bring it on.

[Gusto Brunt]

Good news.

[supertv247]

Sounds good.

Last year alternated between 9 & 10pm and the 10pm shows always rated considerably higher. Around 1.1/1.2m VS 1.4m. It always lost viewers to love island. They did say a few months back that BB 18 would be back to a consistent 10pm slot, and it is better for it

[Jamesy]

If it stays consistent at 10pm each night ratings should do just fine. Problem with alternating times last year is that it affected ratings, as people watch other shows or expect it at a certain time and miss it.

Oh no err I watch the News @ 10 guess I'm going to have to miss it.

[StevenS]

BB confirmed it launches at 8:30 on Monday June 5th

[Denver]

Erm

[Ronald.]

Hope this will go back to basics like suggested. Will be good if that's the case. R.

[Jack_]

8:30 to get a head start on Love Island I presume? A C4 throwback

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Can't wait

[Raph]

I will be going on my grad trip on that day sad times :( I'll have to catch up on the Tuesday

[Greg!]

I've just thought about this and it's so stupid. WHY would they choose to clash with Corrie and Love Island when they could have done it the day before and not clashed with any of them. Honestly

[supertv247]

Well.... I'm sure clashing with the britains got talent final would have done wonders....

[Denver]

BGT would destroy it

Corrie has a mainly 40+ demographic and LI will get the same viewers as BB so will lose out

[supertv247]

I don't think Corrie will take that many viewers away, and I think the viewers it'll gain from the love island head start will make up for it (opposed to starting at 9 with those viewers choosing love island)

It's just the out of hour time slot that I think will wobble ratings
