According to someone somewhere else, live feed will not be coming back this year.

Well, that's the end of BB.:bawling:

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I just hope it's not true and someone made it up. I doubt it though.

Need to here this from Endemol/Ch4.

Arista, I didn't say it was official, but I bet it is true.

Channel 4 have just announced that they are closing all their forums at the end of the month, they must be in a mess.

I just wish they had axed BBLB instead of live feed. :sad:

Your Heading is Very Wrong.


Endemol /Ch4 can make cut backs for the Inmates
let them live in a Depression
it will bring out the best in them.

can i say i have sent a email to channel4 to tell them to keep the live feed so if you want u email them and say
i am a big brother fan i love the live feed so keep it as it does well in the day when someone is at work at night and it dose well at night when someone works at night just send them that

23-04-2009, 01:42 PM
Arista, I am really sorry for any confusion.

Midlandman, I have just emailed in asking if it is true and saying that I will not be watching this summer if LF is not returning. They usually reply quite quickly, but I bet they are inundated with emails at the moment. I'll post as soon as they reply.

No Confusion just
yes or no to Live Feed


And that does not come from a Forum

I might sound really crazy here but, i am sure the whole point of Big Brother is to watch people live anytime?
I am sure thats the whole idea of he Big Brother format, to have so many people in a house that are being filmed 24/7 as they do their thing in the house, and the public watch it live anytime on the net?

So if it's true what the OP says, is it fair to say that Channel 4 have killed the real format of the show?
The highlights are there for those that can't watch it live, don't want to watch it live or can only catch few hours of live feed, hence the highlights of the best bits of the day.

People watch live feed at various times during the day and night, this is the main format of Big Brother, to watch them, to know what they are doing... Hence the name Big Brother!
The format needs live feed and highlights... What it don't need is Channel 4 being tw@s!

Live feed is an essential part of bb in my opinion. Even if you do watch it when you should be asleep, and end up feeling S*** in the morning. :laugh:

I agree, make the HM's suffer. They should go back to BB1 with the IKEA bought house, make them grow their own veg to save money on food, give them half as many parties as usual and they'd save loads. As far as I know it is free to get tickets for evictions, why not charge £5, it's a small amount to go to an eviction, but would bring in a fair bit.

I'd pay to watch LF and have told C4 so. I bet loads of people would. I just can't see how it costs them so much money.

arista
23-04-2009, 02:08 PM
I can see the Cost Savings
Endemol Legal producers 24/7 for Live Feed cut sound
saves big money.
And all the other staff put on hold.

New Labour Depression hits Endemol big time.



However
this story is not true, at this time.
Source is a Forum
Not Valid

well all the forum members on many forums will not watch, fans that havnt visited the forums will come onto them, but because theres no live feed, theres no news on the forums, the people then think to themselves "How come there is no news?" and then we wont know any news updates and people will get bored of it because BB always manipulates the show by editing people in good/bad ways (with LF you could see their true selves).

And more people watch LF then you think, at interesting times viewers reach 600-800,000 (which considering an average of 3.2m watch now, is a pretty big part of it), and on launch the live feed is watched by almost 1m sometimes.

When theres nothing on, people might just want to turn it on, but knowing BB they will schedule the times at 2pm-4pm (where there eating lunch), and then from midnight onwards (when most HMs are in bed).

The whole point of BB was to monitor people 24/7 and see what they did.

Soo overall...it looks like it will make quite a big difference on how the show is viewed

If there is any important news it would be on the website or whatever. I see what you mean about the whole point of it but I really don't see how its gonna make such a difference.

I think it might make quite a big difference, i dont think CBB6 failed only because it wasnt that interesting, on the first Monday, the ratings got to 4.1m and then 4m for Lucy's eviction (okay it may be because she went that the ratings went, maybe it lost the male audience), but i guess the live feed made quite a big impact because then all lof a sudden BB was hitting all time lows of 1.9m and was continually getting under 3m, I think it was quite weird that it dropped an audience of about 1.3m in a week. And the final only got 3.3m! And that was after 3 weeks of no live feed, imagine after 13-14 weeks without it!

I would Tape that time
so Yes it is Very important
as then I see a Fight UnCut.


The Whole Point of Big Brother
is to see it Un Cut as well as the over edited show.


The Bloke (who is a Brand New Poster)
that put this thread up
has No given right to say it is "Scrapped"
unless it is Official.

23-04-2009, 04:36 PM
That is bad news because there are people who wont watch or watch as much because of no live feed
The strongest move that the producers could make would be bringing it back
I personally don't watch it as much and doesn't affect how much I like the show but it is part of the show and does need to be there

1) I'm a woman, thanks very much.
2)Yes I'm new, what's that got 2 do with anything? I joined because the c4 forum wasn't talking at all about BB and this seemed like the friendliest place, shame, you seem to be ruining that image for me.
3)Who says I have no right to say it is scrapped? I have every right - This is a forum to share news about BB, I NEVER said it was official, FACT. (btw, do you know how annoying that makes you sound?)

:thumbs:

Shame, because apart from that I really agree with your points about live feed.

*mazedsalv**
23-04-2009, 06:50 PM
I found some info on DS, Paula (who works on the team of BB and have proof its her) pretty much confirmed it was true. She said that the feed will be on from around 1pm-4pm and 11:30pm-6am, so the same hours as CBB which sucks!

So members are trying to rationalise and because it looks like they wont bring it back completely, they are asking for more hours eg. 12-4pm and 7pm-3am (which i find much more suitable), I hope they listen because unless all the HMs are really energetic and fun this year the feed at 11:30 onwards will be most of them in bed like CBB.

Yes it looks bad news.

I would never say Never until
it is close to the broadcast.

I am looking Forward to other Sites like
Guardian Media giving there viewpoint.

bbnut
23-04-2009, 07:34 PM
I agree, never say never, on DS they are trying to bargain with Paula to increase the hours for more evening coverage. I wish them luck, 1.30 - 4.30 may be better than CBB, but is no good for people who work 9-5. iBB insider says endemol might cave in to peer pressure, lets hope.

bbnut
23-04-2009, 07:41 PM
Oh no, read it wrong, think I was wrong about afternoon feed. Paula has said feed will be on 23.30 - 06-30 and 01.30 - 4.30, I assumed that meant 1.30 - 4.30 pm, but on IBB there's no mention at all of an afternoon feed, just late night /early morning. They must mean 11.30-6am on e4 and 1.30-4.30 on c4.

But I have no idea, I'm confused now :puzzled:

Axing the daytime feed as well is just stupid - so it's going to be down to 7 hours of coverage, most of which will be of the HMs sleeping.

Come to think about it the overnight coverage may be good, it was only CBB6 that had the HMs go to bed early, not to be ageist but most was over 40 so they wouldnt of wanted to stay up, play games ect... but BB10 is sure to have mostyly a younger variety, so they will most likely stay up later.

Even in BB9 though many HMs weren't up after 2am (it was usually Dale and Darnell, but when they fell out that ended), and in the latter weeks most were tooked up in bed really early.

Obviously ideally we'd all love a full multi-stream interactive service, but realistically costs have to be cut. However, they really don't appreciate the value of the live stream in scaling it back so much, and I still think a compromise could have been reached, with streaming from around 10am-4pm on E4, then again overnight from around 11pm through to 4am. The red button feed would only then be used from 4pm to 11pm.

I dont get it, as much as it doesnt affect me really but ratings are dropping fast, so why are they trying to get rid of the hardcore fans?!

Because they don't care about the ratings. They've made their decision - it's going, and they don't think it's worth putting the effort into saving.

Hi guys.Its oathbreaker here from Digital spy BB forum.
a lot of the guys know me as Emoqueen also.
I can assure you this story is 100% true with inside BB getting it direct from the horses mouth.
Paula and myself have been in contact the last few days again and she told me an answer on the live feed would be heard quite soon.

this was the reply I got earlier on today

I have checked with the Big Brother team, and I am afraid there are no plans to reintroduce live streaming this summer. I know this will be disappointing for the devotees of the programme, but the numbers of people using the service just did not make it viable to provide it, and given current economic conditions, we are having to make some very tough calls about where we invest our money.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Paula

then it was confirmed here.

http://www.insidebigbrother.net/news/pre-bb/big-brother-live-feed-axed.ibb

sad truth is they have lost all sense and reason about Big brother.they dont understand removing such a vital part of the show what effect this is going to have.
Lets be really honest here..the highlight show is pretty pathetic the editing is so biased it doesnt make good viewing.
Yet now they are relying 100% on the h.l to keep it going.but dont worry..we still get those bloody clips....

Thanks for the confirmation, but as your in contact with Paula, is there any way that they could add a few more hours onto the feed shown on E4, we as fans deserve that. Eg. 12 midday-4pm and abot 8pm-3am (theres no point going until 6am).

hiya we are pushing bigtime its an utter disgrace with all the multichannels they have its been reduced to this.
ive also been in touch with all the tabloids..the daily start were spitting blood about CBB they basically use that feed like others use the AP news agency.

just a thought,

how does it cost less to only show LF at night? Surely it costs more to pay people to stay up all night producing a feed that hardly anyone will watch?

How come we can't forget the overnight feed and have it during the day, on red button so as not to interrupt normal programmes?


I just don't get it :puzzled:

It's not really about people watching it 24/7, most people just switch it on when there's nothing else to do. Like I'd go to bed and watch it late at night, and now from the sounds of things I'm not going to have that choice :bawling: And it also means that you can't really get to know the people, because the highlights shows are useless and the producers pick who they want to be seen in a good lightand who in a bad light.

I probably won't watch it properly if there is no live feed. [I wouldn't mind if they done the same as they did with CBB though - a couple of hours in the day and then from 12-6 at night/morning]
