One or two hours live feed every night would be pretty good. Surely not that expensive to show on Channel 5 or 5*, plus it would probably get more viewers than the usual programming which is just a bunch of repeats.

I think we all realise 24/7 live feed is out the question. But it's strange they haven't bothered considering something that's on nightly. When live feed has been shown on C5 these past few years it has done pretty well.

Another issue is that Channel 5 don't have enough contracted hours for live stuff. They only contract enough to show the odd half an hour on Friday nights etc.

30 minutes a week is an insult through I would be happy with one hour after bots Monday to Friday

I don't see why they don't introduce an internet feed for a reasonable cost, like they did with BB11.

The people who want it will get it, and pay for it, and Channel 5 make money. Therefore, everyone is happy.

It also solves the problem for the silly "cost effective" excuse, as this way they make profit from it in return.

They're contracted like 10 hours a series or something, can't go over.

HOPEFULLY, they had the initiative to negotiate some more live feed with the new contract, but that wouldn't be seen til next year. Despite that, I'd imagine we'll only see te occasional hour or half hour on Friday still.
