Very happy about the article :thumbs:
C4 will start to shite themselves now, the news is spreading fast and many fans are going to switch off (as said in the article).
Well done for the fellow people who have complained, im glad NOTW cares about it.
This is a thread for people who love the LF btw :bigsmile:
I HATE LIVE FEED :tongue:

Not bad watching it at lunch time or somthing.

The majority of Big Brother viewers couldn't care less about the live feed. Its just a minority complaining who think they are a majority
I'm sure C4 and the producers will be happy too with this extra publicity for BB10
Its all a bit pathetic and going too far imo

Well i wouldnt say it was just forum members, the article has got almost 200 comments in the last few hours praising NOTW for publishing the story.

... probably the 1000 who post on DS, and probably the same as those who plagued the original article moaning over it. Some people have probably signed it more than once as well. I scrolled down the page and read the odd comment, one that made me laugh was that noone watches BBLB or Big Mouth ... yet it gets four times the audience of live feed

During BB9 Im positive that BBLB, BBBM and the LF drew in the same ratings, sometimes BBLB would go as low as 200,000 and the LF would get 800,000 for big events (like Fight Night #2 in BB9).
Its all about manipulation though, i would not care if the editing wasnt so incredibly bias, the reason that they edit so much is why i care about the LF, otehrwise i wouldnt give a ****.
But this is for the people who actually care about the feed. AND I DO :dance: :dance: :bigsmile:

Once they got rid of Zezi BBLB went up to about 0.3-0.6m and BBBM stayed around 0.3m or something. Live feed was usually about 0.1m (except overnight when its a bit more, and they've kept that)
The live feed is also quite biased/edited ... and its obvious that is going to happen if you have to edit 24 hours into 45 minutes

I know, but i was annoyed with the editing with Luke, i watched the first week of LF of BB9 and noticed Luke switching from Mario and Lisa to Steph bitching about the other to them, but in the HL they kept it all out and aired him syaing the "funny stuff"

I'm surprised so many here want LESS BB to be screened.
How about half-hour highlights? Or just 1 show a week like Shipwrecked?
The more the better. The housemates are in there 24/7 (we hope) and the cameras are running 24/7.

It is a Big Deal
as it is the whole Idea behind Big Brother.
It it is never the same without 24/7 feed.
Its only through the livefeed you can see what the housemates are truly like.

Glad to see it's got a mention, nothing will be done about it, but oh well.
Not having the livefeed just makes things easier for channel 4. They can edit things how they want, and not have to worry about people who watch the livefeed complaining about the editing.
For me its just not big brother without the live feed. The live feed is what makes the show unique, without it, it just becomes another reality tv show.
Channel 4 are taking the easy route, shame on them.

Not true at all. An Endemol production team insider has said that the cutback in coverage broadcast is directly due to C4. They're still producing the stuff, C4 decide whether to air it or not. Far from it costing 'millions' there's just ONE guy at a time required to change cameras and bleep stuff out.
There's plenty of other stuff Endemol are guilty of but this isn't one of them =)

Personally I'll be unaffected because I only ever watch the highlights (like 90% of viewers) and night time live feed so I don't care if its not on during the day or not. It was the USP back in 2000 but in this day and age the novelty has long worn off. I can guarantee if it doesn't have that much of an impact, BB's around the world will follow suit. Other reality shows have had a live feed which has now been axed and that hasn't impacted the show, in fact ratings went up.
There are two arguments about them having less on this year. One is that Channel 4 are done with the show. Another suggestion is that they're streamlining it because it has been literally everywhere for the past 10 years and overkill isn't a good thing. More people might be inclined to watch it if it isn't everywhere.

I think it might be because of E4's line-up. I mean, its got to be hard to fit in the live feed, but I think it should be on red button 24/7.

You'll have a hard time convincing the live feeders to be optimistic!
In football terms: C4 effectively cancelled their season tickets and all they have now is Match of the Day highlights which only show the goals scored by their man of the match.:bawling:

The people who complain about live feed and "protest" its departure and the ones destroying the show. These "true fans" somehow think that by not watching they're getting something done. First, C4 cares less about your antics and second, by not watching the "true fans" are killing off their supposedly favourite show.

but we are still going to get some live feed.. just not 24 7.... plus the highlights show.... plus big brothers little brother.... plus big brothers big mouth..... plus the channel 4 website with many updates.... plus digital spy..... and plus anything else on the internet bb related!

To be fair to C4, it is such a small minority of viewers that watch LF. most people just flick the highlights on (sometimes for nothing better to watch) and that is where some viewers come from. Yeah, LF was popular, but i think such a small proportion of highlights viewers watched it that on the surface seemed pointless, but i dont know if they considered if there are LF viewers who DONT watch highlights...?

channel 4 reply to news of the world, " no plan re enstate live feed", look at online notw, even philippine bb have live feed,they also have teenage version of show, bookies not happy about no live feed, think will watch show but not vote,,,,,,,, maybe if people not vote ,make them rethink,after all channel 4 want us to interact with show,yet refuse to listen and interact with fans,, they telling daily mirror that bb is public service,there words, remember united we stand, divided we fall.

I like having the live feed on the background sometimes.. you know when you're just doing random s*** around the house on the weekend. Plus I understand the thing about Big Brother can now edit housemates whichever way they want and no one will ever be able to see the real people. However, I'm not wetting my pants over this - it's the evening shows that I follow and love.

Big Brother is not Big Brother without the LiveFeed, the highly editted Higlights are not a true portray of the Housemates or events. This is channel fours way of manipulating the show as much as possible,and not having any repecutions in return.

Without LIVE FEED we have no bigbrother, we can't trust whatb they show us on a heavily edited HL show. :nono:
No one will be on these forums discussing theshow during the days because we'll have no LF coverage showing us the latest events.
Unless they bring back the LF I predict this BB will be the least watched show of the 10 by far.
THE LIVE FEED IS ALSO EDITED
