Remember we all thought channel 5 favoured cbb?

[pontyboi]

Well this years scheduling is proving they are giving up on the show I mean they are pitting it against a programme that gets between 7 and 9 million viewers when they could put it on at 10pm to avoid this.

Are they finally killing off the show?

[Marsh.]

Which show?

Moving it from 10 to 9 to 10:30 is why everyone said they were treating BBUK like rubbish... now you're blaming them for not doing it to CBB? :conf:

[reece(:]

Not when BB was getting moved to 10:30

[MTVN]

It's important for there to be consistency in the scheduling imo. There's always going to be other shows to compete against but you have to have confidence in what is one of your flagship shows that it can still attract viewers

[MB.]

Remember when you said there was no way that Isabelle would survive against Charlotte

[pontyboi]

Which show?

Erm the championship athletics plus last night Poldark which got 5 million. It seems you allways need to question my posts when you could easily go look at what it was up against. Stop being lazy x

Actually I was the one noticing the spike in ratings at 10:30 so where has that come from?

[HBIC]

I think keeping CBB on at 9pm even against tough competition is a good move. It would just attract a large +1 audience if people wanted to watch it anyways. Consistency is key.

[Jordan.]

Well they have their new love island rip off on at 10 so they're hardly gonna sabotage that on the first episode

[Shaun]

Didn't think the athletics would get that much in terms of viewership tbh

I agree I would rather it on At 9pm everynight but for however long these athletics are on they should plan ahead and it's just very lazy production wise.....where are the "coming up tonight on cbb" short adverts?

Oh **** forgot about that will be interesting to see what that gets.

I agree with you about that, the promotion has been abysmal this year.

[thisisdanny]

CBB is always 9pm, BB is always 10pm (apart from BB18 when god knows what time it was)

They cant kill it

- but they might move it to a non main channel - such as 5 star or something like that -

They still make fortunes from it - and its a gamble to stop making it.

Such a shame they aren't promoting it.

They need to just pay a DM colluminist to pay to say how its an interesting phscholigical experiment - and use real examples

and then job done.

Apparent the DM only Charges £35,000 per article so i dont know why they havent done it
and the reason my mum wont watch it is because of 'Marcus'

it needs to be promoted as a serious programe and then when naturally humourous things happen - it will get press.

I know Im not the target market - I am in my 30's and the advertisers want 15 years olds = its called ''establishing a brand whilst their young''

- its like apparently - you should spend £5 on Loreal - because they advertise

the older people already know that advertising is rubbish.

[Jamesy]

They need to keep the scheduling consistent in order to retain an audience, regardless of the competition. Changing times can confuse and push away viewers. Keeping times consistent means people will automatically think 'oh Big Brother is on at 9'.

I've almost missed out eps because of messy scheduling with civilian BB (as a BB fan!), so it's no wonder people tune out when inconsistent scheduling becomes a regular thing.

Sadly scheduling is only one of a million problems with Big Brother at the moment.

That's not true sometimes bb12 used to finish at almost midnight on evictions...it's never been consistent even on channel 4 it was on at 8pm sometimes but cbb has never allways been on at 9pm.

They have a target audience - thats what decides when its on.

Erm remember when everybody said that? She was never expected to win and if you see my past posts she was my favourite.

You're the one making a thread about it, so it makes sense for you to actually name what you're talking about.
Turns out you were referring to two different nights/events so my question is validated.

It seems nobody can ask you a simple question without getting attitude in return.

C4 evictions were 8:30 then the interview was at 10.

It seems you're very displeased in general recently, no matter what happens. Celebrity Big Brother would be against something in the ratings no matter what you do or where you put it. I don't think they're "killing the show" as this series has been on for a week now and has actually been a good quality show.

What are you talking about last nights cbb was up against Poldark and the iaff world championship.

Seriously go away you spinster.

There's others here who have agreed the scheduling needs to be consistent and I agree but the production seem to place it up against major competition.

It's getting like 1.1 million in overnights now and that's because of the competition.....doesn't take a genius.

[Marsh.]

I don't watch either of those so wouldn't know that. Hence me asking.

You really need to sort out your attitude problem.

[bots]

it doesn't matter a toss when its on, its available one way or another after its first showing, unlike the C4 days when if you didnt hit the vcr record button you were stuffed. Scheduling is the least of the reasons for the shows demise.

[pontyboi]

I don't watch either so wouldn't know that.

Have a **** ipad which won't let me delete that last post but I don't have an attitude problem there are members on here who body shame housemates and are very offensive on occasions I think I'm quite in the middle to be honest. I just don't agree with you and that's that and it's a fact I am right about the scheduling and you were wrong.

[Marsh.]

You don't even watch so your opinion is really not relevant lol I don't have an attitude problem im passionate about bb unlike you so there's our differences.

I always watch CBB. :umm2:

I was passionate about BB back when it was actually watchable. But I don't watch Poldark to know it was scheduled opposite CBB, clearly making me a terrible spinster fan. :joker: Thanks pointy boy. :thumbs:

[Headie]

Didn't think the athletics would get that much in terms of viewership tbh

I'm pretty sure me, Cherie and Lucas are the only people in the country even watching it tbh :laugh:

[pontyboi]

9 million viewers.

[Barry.]

9 million viewers.

That's a lot.

[Marsh.]

That's a lot.

Yeah, and doubtful the vast majority of them would be watching CBB even if that wasn't on anyway.

BB/CBB doesn't attract big ratings and hasn't for a long time.

[pontyboi]

Actually a good point let's see what 1.1 million viewers jumps to in officials.

[pontyboi]

It's dropped like 500k+ viewers since it was scheduled against it....I don't see why you're so defensive lol I'm just stating factual ratings.

[Marsh.]

Defensive? :unsure: I'm merely pointing out the show doesn't rate very high and hasn't for a long time.

So a show with 9 million viewers, not many of those 9 million are potential BB/CBB viewers anymore.

Ofcourse they are I am one of them as have a few other members said in this thread. I honestly don't see your issue with me pointing out channel 5's **** scheduling especially when you talked **** about them yourself? I heart the show and want it to be a success that's all im saying.

I haven't commented on any scheduling?

Also, you and a few other members watching doesn't contradict what I said "Not many of those 9 million viewers are potential BB/CBB viewers" otherwise on other nights BB/CBB would rate much higher and into the several million. I didn't say NO ONE watches both, but not many.

This whole thread is about the scheduling from channel 5 when "can't pay well take it away" is rating higher it's an issue and what I'm pointing out is they are making the same mistakes as they did with civilian bb. do you not agree channel 5 are being incompetent putting a show that costs them millions up against serious competition when they could have easily looked forward and rescheduled?

[pontyboi]

I think channel 5's new show make or break will rate higher tonight it's got a lot of Twitter buzz at the moment. It is a rip off of love island and ex on the beach combined though let's be fair.

[Marsh.]

This whole thread is about the scheduling

Obviously. I was referring to you telling me I've slagged off their scheduling in the past. I don't pay attention to the scheduling so doubt I have.

Honestly? Not really.
If we were in 2013 it would be seen as a careless move as they had somewhat of an audience left to hang onto but as it stands the viewership of the show is pretty much threadbare and exists solely on that small but dedicated fanbase of which the scheduling makes little difference as any of those that watch something else will still catch up and have that total added to the overnights.

Something like "can't pay" rating higher IS an issue, but one that goes far deeper than scheduling. The show itself is dying/if not already dead. It's going to take more than a prime slot with no competition to get the viewers back.

[thisisdanny]

This thread is a mess.

Opposite opinions can't even be made anymore without people attacking them for it. *cough*pontyboi*cough*

I never said you slagged off their scheduling I was referring to your post to you slagging off channel 5's bb and you coming into a thread specificically about the scheduling issue wi out knowing any facts. I'm not here to argue I can't be arsed I was literally making a valid and factual point they have put the show up against a lot of competition when there's been so much talk about them wanting to cancel the show.

"Without knowing the facts" = Asking a valid question as you made a thread about CBB being scheduled opposite a show you didn't name.

If you want to create a thread/discussion, give us the actual details on what it is to begin with.

Yes, I've done a lot of slagging off of channel 5's BB but I don't watch the civilian show anymore to care about repeating where channel 5 are failing (everywhere).

as a bb super fan on a BB FORUM I assumed people all knew I was obviously talking about ........I did give you the actual details of the scheduling which you don't even care about so why are you still here?

You didn't watch the civilian version and this is based around that scheduling which ruined the ratings.

enough now ffs I made a thread for a discussion not world war 3

Being a BB super fan means you should automatically be aware of what BBC 1 are showing at the same time even if you're not interested. Ok.

Yes. I've given my opinion on the scheduling? :unsure:

Ive worked from 4am this morning yet am still that geek who comes home to watch cbb.

9 million viewers.

Where can I see these figures? They don't sound believable to me (other than the first night which was Mo Farah)

Good if true, I thought I was the only one watching :laugh:

I regularly work 14 hour days so cry me a river.
