ITV offers for Big Brother Producer Endemol Shine

[DanielM787]

Well isn’t this interesting :hehe:

[Nicky91]

oh, well finally some channel seeing potential in BB, and seeing the truth what C5 has been doing to make it flop

[DanielM787]

ITV denying they weren’t interested oop.. well proof is they are

[Epic.]

Hope they take it :fc: Frow will be fuming

[BigBrudder]

https://deadline.com/2018/09/itv-endemol-shine-bid-1202465398/

This would save BB as surely it would air on ITV or one of its channels!

[Nicky91]

i wonder who provided the fake news, Ben Frow anyone :think:

They'd better take in and promote it during BGT and Love Island.

[DanielM787]

They'd better take in and promote it during BGT and Love Island.

I am sure ITV would be promoting it so much more than Channel 5 :laugh:

[Nicky91]

promotion during BGT/Love Island is actually not that bad idea, given they have good viewer ratings

[Captain.Remy]

They were the obvious choice, right? I'm so glad this is in talks, hopefully they come through and deliver!

[DanielM787]

promotion during BGT/Love Island is actually not that bad idea, given they have good viewer ratings

I actually think ITV would make it much more like the old days again, and I can tell you that they would give us over 40+ housemates :dance:

[Nicky91]

They were the obvious choice, right? I'm so glad this is in talks, hopefully they come through and deliver!

they probably already have ideas for BB/CBB, how they think they can save the show, and tbh Endemol should feel delighted now with this news


so yeah i would accept this offer, only for a bit of hopes that ITV shows interest in their show, while C5 had only been a huge letdown for them, even showing no effort at all, and with this weird and awful schedule now just wanting it to flop, while with ITV i think they will have a good schedule for this, they already do with BGT and Love Island

[BigBrudder]

I remember a few months back there were odds posted here with a link to where on one of the betting sites they had a special bet on which channel would be airing Big Brother next year. There were only 3 or 4 choices and Channel 5 was not even one of them. The odds on favorite at a very strong 1 to 2 was ITV. The odds were only up for a few days and then mysteriously disappeared.

Someone knew this was going to happen.

[DanielM787]

If Love Island is a success on ITV why can’t Big Brother

[Nicky91]

I actually think ITV would make it much more like the old days again, and I can tell you that they would give us over 40+ housemates :dance:

i would love it, if that one former BGT contestant Eugene does BB then, he's a good comedian and also not that young, i think civilian BB then since he isn't good enough to be listed as celebrity for CBB

[Eddie.]

ITV ganging up on C5 with Love Island and BIG BROTHER. :love:

For that to work, I think CBB should be during Winter/Spring, and BB will be on Spring...

[Nicky91]

it certainly can work like that

[Greg!]

Interesting times!

[supertv247]

This is not ITV wanting Big Brother, it’s ITV wanting Endemol. It doesn’t mean they’ll have big brother on ITV or even recomission big brother anywehre in the future...

but hopefully it does. They bought the company that owns the voice, then nabbed the voice a year later :shrug:

[DanielM787]

Apparently All 3 Media, Banijay, Liberty Global are all Intrested

[BBDodge]

Would make it difficult for another broadcaster to get BB if ITV doesn't want it.

[DanielM787]

I think we can take it as something itv may want in the future

[Rob!]

For BB to have a long term future, realistically it needs a rest of at least a couple of years.

[Nicky91]

For BB to have a long term future, realistically it needs a rest of at least a couple of years.

ITV needs BB and then go brainstorming on ideas how to try and make it successful again

but of course they can Always just broadcast CBB, just for harmless fun and entertainment i guess

[DanielM787]

They are also other potential Intrests from other channels so they might want the show

[JoshBB]

YAS.

It'd fit into ITV2's schedule really well, since they air Love Island during Summer, they could put BB on during Autumn-Winter. And honestly, they'd treat the show a lot better than Channel 5 has.

If this is true, and they are interested in having the BB format, Endemol should definitely take the opportunity.

[thisisdanny]

ITV2, CBB in January, Love Island June-July, BB August-October I'd be okay with this or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself

[Aaliyah]

Honestly this doesn't mean they'd take over Big Brother though, people are getting way ahead of themselves.

[JoshBB]

ITV2, CBB in January, Love Island June-July, BB August-October I'd be okay with this or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself

It would be great! And it means we don't have 2 CBB per year (which is just overkill)

[saiwong]

It would be interesting if BB moves to ITV2...

Big Brother started on Channel 4
then moved to Channel 5

now there is a possibility to be on ITV2 (i.e. channel 6)

[Nicky91]

ITV2, CBB in January, Love Island June-July, BB August-October I'd be okay with this or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself

that would be great, almost an entire year of good shows then :clap1: :clap1:

[Greg!]

Paddypower is offering odds of 4/6 that BB will air on an ITV channel.

[Tregard]

I would be worried ITV would try and morph BB moreso into Love Island than it already is, honestly :/

[supertv247]

I would be worried ITV would try and morph BB moreso into Love Island than it already is, honestly :/

If anything, they’ll do the opposite. They’ll want to make sure BB is as far differentiated from Love Island so they don’t ruin each other, basically with overexposure of the same type of show. It might also be 1 of the reasons they actually take it, to avoid someone like Channel 4 taking it and putting it against Love Island.

ITV will make sure they aim BB towards a different market, such as a broader range of age demo’s, and focus on the reality and game side of things, while Love Island is aimed towards younger viewers with a focus on relationships etc

[T*]

itv actually has Davina under their wing too

[tiger_greengrass]

ITV2, CBB in January, Love Island June-July, BB August-October I'd be okay with this or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself

then we'd have IAC November-December

[Greg!]

itv actually has Davina under their wing too

I'm over Davina tbh. Emma does a good job

[T*]

well get you!

[Greg!]

well get you!

Davina didn't even watch the bloody show towards the end!

[Jason.]

If ITV snatches it I hope it's on ITV2.

ITV1 would turn into a family show like XF and IAC with all the censorship.

And I don't think they'll morph it into another Love Island when the only reason C5 did that (or tried to) is because BB aired the same time Love Island did and rated terribly in comparison.

If they're both on the same channel, they won't clash or feel the need to mimic LI because it's not on a rival channel.

But its not just ITV in the driver seat here, Endemol has a considerable amount of clout in negotiating for a suitor. There are multiple parties interested, and Endemol itself gets to choose who it sells to. Endemol are looking not just at dollar amounts but at synergies and future direction. The BB UK franchise is extremely important as well as beloved at Endemol. An agreement to air BB and CBB on ITV could help ITV secure a winning bid for Endemol, I suspect it is a huge part of their pitch and possibly even the current timing of their solid bid. Long live BB UK!!!':cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[T*]

I wonder how Love Island/Big Brother back to back (I.e on at the same time but ones on at 9PM and ones on at 10PM) would do bc you’ve got the love island girlies still watching

[Headie]

I’d be here for them getting the rights to it but only if they rest it for 5-10 years. No one will be interested in it atm regardless of what channel it’s on and the ratings would still be dire.

Perhaps if they brought it back when the Love Island interest/popularity starts to decline

[storybrooke]

This is so exciting, would love to see it on an ITV channel

[armand.kay]

big brother on ITVBee is coming girls
https://uploadir.com/u/g92y8csq

[Glenn.]

It needs a rest of at least 5yrs. Maybe even 10yrs.

[Nicky91]

It needs a rest of at least 5yrs. Maybe even 10yrs.

that's way too long :shrug: 2 yrs break would be perfect, also that is enough time to think of new ideas for the concept

[Vicky.]

Wouldn't ITV like..proper sanitize it? I cannot imagine them airing, for example, the Kinga thing :laugh:

ITV though have so many channels that they could realistically put LF on. But any channel could do that really online, I don't know why c5 didn't...as people like me would pay a fee for a BBs worth of LF..kind of like how c4 did on the last series

[Glenn.]

People need to get used to it not being on the telly so that when it returns it actually attracts an audience

[Gstar]

Apparently All 3 Media, Banijay, Liberty Global are all Intrested

[Shaun]

It'd end up on ITV2 or ITVBe (I reckon the latter) but that's fine by me.

[Strictly Jake]

Oh i so hope itv pick it up they would look after it really well

[BBDodge]

The very first series of BBUK was produced by Bazal Prodcutions, a division of Endemol UK.

Bazal was founded by Peter Bazalgette.

And where is he now? The Chairman of ITV! So he would be buying back his original company, the company that brought Big Brother to the UK in the first place.

[y.winter]

It'd end up on ITV2 or ITVBe (I reckon the latter) but that's fine by me.

Possibly.

I hope it doesn't find itself in ITVBe though :/

[GoldHeart]

I can't see any of the ITV channels taking it , BB doesn't suit it though.

And they already have XF ,Love Island , IAC etc

[annabelindabee]

I'm not phyic... But I too can see it on ITV or ITV2...

Till march 2018 I already thought it was on this channel... I was shocked that it was on c5

[Mokka]

I'm not phyic... But I too can see it on ITV or ITV2...

I'm not phyic either... no one is cause it's not a word.
God would know what channel it was on :idc:

[Tregard]

Possibly.

Launch and Final on ITV1

Evictions and Highlight shows on ITV2

Bit on the Side and Live Feed on ITVBe

[AProducer'sWetDream]

I wouldn't actually mind it being on ITVBe. I feel like they would (or should) actually appreciate it more because it would be a big show for them and a huge opportunity for the channel to bring in new viewers to shows like TOWIE.

[GoldHeart]

But ITVBE already has other shows , I'm really surprised that ITV have thrown their hat in the ring for BB . I never saw this coming , I still think it will be weird BB being on ITV of all channel's .

[Tregard]

If ITV owned Endemol, does that mean they'd own every global version of BB? Would ITV have the rights to air Big Brother US and Big Brother Canada?

[James]

Would make it difficult for another broadcaster to get BB if ITV doesn't want it.

Yeah, I was thinking this. Could it stop it going onto another channel or platform? Channels sometimes produce things for other channels?

[bots]

they will probably keep Endemol as a separate production company, then it can produce programs for anyone. The current ratings on C5 are pretty meaningless as its a completely different viewership on ITV. ITV could give it a very big boost if they chose to host it.

Also, doesn't emma do a lot of things on itv? They could probably bring her on with relative ease.

[Tregard]

ITV produce University Challenge for the BBC, it's not that uncommon :)

[JoshBB]

Truth.

I can't help but feel like having BB literally just four days after CBB is an extremely poor marketing decision

[BigBrudder]

[Nicky91]

:clap1: :clap1: great news, now get brainstorming for new ideas, anyway i think BB can already be saved with better hm's, and also a few more older hm's on the line up

[BBDodge]

That's still only speculation.

But at least we can hope. Now we need the current series to pick up some new viewers.

[arista]

Lets hope they buy EndemolShine group.
not cheap.

[Nicky91]

tbh they already had a endemol show in The Voice UK, The Voice Kids

[joeysteele]

Hopeful news.

[bots]

it's really not news i'm afraid. Firstly, they have made an approach to perhaps bid for the company. Even if they actually did bid and got the company, which is by no means certain, there is then no guarantee that they would choose to show BB in the UK. It's basically pie in the sky at the present moment.

[James]

I've merged the thread with the existing one. Pretty much the same story as yesterday.

[Crimson Dynamo]

yaah

ITV

now then can turn BB into a hit like X-Factor...


:skull:

or the Voice

I sure do as I am not a moron. It is you who does not. I also know that the source article for this thread as well as the other published articles on the subject, via Deadline, which one would think you would have read being you seem such a smug expert on the subject, begins as follows:

"ITV HAS OFFICIALLY MADE A BID FOR BLACK MIRROR AND BIG BROTHER PRODUCER ENDEMOL SHINE"

Surely you can comprehend the unequivocal meaning of this.

I sure do know what I'm talking about and I know the use of semantics too. One source comes over as unequivocal the other does not.

[BigBrudder]

I sure do know what I'm talking about and I know the use of semantics too. One source comes over as unequivocal the other does not.

You have very dishonestly chosen to completely ignore the original source of this information, the very highly respected and trustworthy industry trade Deadline, which is the basis of this thread and cited in the very first post. Instead you cite your unamed second "source", probably an online British news publication, which is merely a secondary source rereporting the news originally broken by the first and original source, Deadline, which is why they have to use the word "reportedly" which you then twist to to bizarrely and incorrectly interpret their report as "not unequivocal", lol, merely because it says reportedly.

Then you smugly post that the story "is really not news" and proceed to instead spread this complete fakery that you have made up, claim that the that the bid is only being considered, has not been made and might not be made, directly in the face of the original and clear statement from the original source that ITV has officially made a bid. Basically , you are lying to the members of this forum who are very hopeful about a very realistic possibility of something that is very dear to their hearts and important to them and I wont have it.

As a side point, I dont think you know what semantics means either.
