That's basically how I feel about it Laura. I don't want to watch it, but I like knowing that it's there and that it can be watched.

It makes me wonder if the HMs will behave differently since they aren't really being watched 24/7.

This is how I feel to a certain extent, however I just find it sad that some people seem obsessed with it and will do anything to get it back.

this is the most Important Cut Back Ever.
It has made this Current show get less viewers,
if you have no comments
Ignore this Great Thread.







Life In The Fast Lane.

The live feed axing is pathetic.

Fair enough if they got rid of the secret channel, but they didnt need to take the live streaming off the E4 schedule during the day - I mean FFS they are only showing REPEAT AFTER REPEAT of something like Gilmore Girls of Roswell, and surely that can't get that many ratings?!

All this sh*t about "we found viewers went to the website more last year" is bollocks too.

It's not really Big Brother is it?

It's a hourly version based upon the production teams edits that will produce the winner. I feel like I am watching a foreign version where I can't get a good link for live feed.

I'll take it because I like watching other countries Big Brothers, but it's hardly the format we all know and love. Come on Sky or BBC take it off their hands as quick as you can.

Thank you for your e-mail querying the availability of the red button
interactivity on this years' BIG BROTHER.

The red button 24-hour streaming facility was discontinued prior to the last
series of CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER and we have no plans to reintroduce this
service for the current edition of BIG BROTHER.

The main reason behind this decision is that we?ve found the number of
viewers choosing to use the red button facility has dropped significantly
and more and more viewers chose to watch the clips provided on the official
Big Brother and other websites. So we have shifted our resources to cover
these areas and have new fanzones, on Twitter and Facebook as well as our
own site, and we?ll also be working extensively with partners such as Bebo,
Youtube and MSN to deliver footage to Big Brother fans to keep them fully up
to date with what?s happening in the house.

However, live streaming will be available on both E4 and Channel 4 late
night/early morning and we will be showing all the other great shows that
make up the BIG BROTHER experience, like BIG BROTHER'S LITTLE BROTHER AND
BIG BROTHER'S BIG MOUTH.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us.

Regards,

do the housemates know there is no 24/7 live feed, would you bother now to audition for bb11 knowing coverage limited and less interest when leave house, 5 mins of fame reduced to just 2mins of fame

why dont channel4 listen?

Because they're a business and sometimes, business have to take cutbacks they don't nessescarily want to. Heard of the credit crunch? Perhaps C4 can't afford to hold a red button option because of it.

the red button was not used much last year


Judging from the amount of fans all over the internet and low viewing figures last night for the highlights, I think CH 4 are telling porkies.:blush2:

Yes not showing it Daytime
has made me Hope Endemol move to another channel.

Topic now 'pinned' at the top of the BB10 Forum. All new threads created about Live Feed from now on will be merged with this one. :thumbs:

has this been made an official thread?

bb is just one of many tv shows i view if and when i have spare tme, my beef with channel 4 is how there are treating fans of there so called ; flagship show; ok ratings are now falling, but channel 4 have done very well from bb in the past. fans have stuck with the show, time channel 4 treated these fans with some respect, if they are winding down show,just say so, not end of world no live feed but if they putting show on that depends on viewers interaction then please treat viewers properly, theres been so much fuss in past about how different shows on tv have mislead viewers over tv voting etc, of course its all about making money but to do this they need to provide a service to public

I thought BB producers etc read this forum so we should keep mentioning it then they can see our disgust

Bored now of BB news happening and no LF to watch it in. VERY ANNOYED NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Producers
do not Read Forums.
They are above that.

if they don't bring back LF i think i'll throw myself in front of a car.
just what exactly is the point in not showing it.

arrrghhh! just bring it back mannnn yer daft b*ggers.

Right, this is my opinion on it, as some people have mentioned, it wasn't that I would watch it 24/7, but it was there when I wanted it, and today has been one of those days in which I've wanted it, I've been bored shitless and would have loved to have watched a bit of Live Feed to pass some time.

I for one though, wouldn't actually moan on about it being axed for the rest of the series if the times it were shown on E4 were actually fair, and C4 are being completely unfair and pathetic by just showing it during the night.

Not only is the times they've scheduled it during the week completely unfair, it's also ridiculous, because for the people who have school and have to be up early for work in the morning, aren't going to be wasting their time staying up till 1am to watch it. They moaned that it wasn't getting enough viewers for them to keep running it, yet it's hardly going to get anymore at 1am on a weekday morning.

Like I've said, if C4 had some sense and actually respected some of their viewer's opinions on it, then I wouldn't be moaning about it for the rest of the series. All they'd have to do for me to be happy is a schedule like this:

Weekends: (taken from tomorrow's schedule on E4)
13:15 - 15:05: BB Live (replacing Joan of Arcadia double bill)
15:05: BBLB Repeat
16:05: Ghost Whisperer
17:00 - 18:00: BB Live (replacing Friends which will be repeated between 20:00 and 21:00 anyway :rolleyes:)
...and so on, until 23:00 or whenever they want to show the night streaming.

Weekdays:
17:00 - 18:00: BB Live (which would be a perfect time for people coming home from school and work)
18:00 - 18:30: BBLB
...and so on, until the night's streaming.

I'd be perfectly happy with that, and I don't see why it's not possible, because as I've mentioned most of what's on E4 during the day is repeats, and especially Friends, which has the same two episodes on again 2 hours later.

This'll never happen though, C4 won't listen to anything we have to say, Red Button has gone, and what's done is done, nothing is changing, unfortunately.

would you rather live feed during the day and evening , or through the night
 

...and im only just getting started on live feed threads by the way.....u aint seen nothing yet.

If they wanted to cut it back then they should have showed it from about 5pm onwards and then finish at about 8am.

Jack I would really like that scedule, You should be a E4 producer!


Why does E4 always have repeats on, They are SO ANNOYING!!!

Im going to cry if there is one more life feed thread. Its GONE ! Get over it !

Both, 2/3 hours extra feed during the day would keep me shut up for the rest of the series.

Oh, and btw, I wouldn't bother doing that, because you'll only end up getting banned for spamming, and besides it's not going to do anything, this forum isn't C4. As much as I'd like them to reconsider, they won't, and on here is certainly not the place to change their minds. If you have to bombard anywhere with complaints, it's C4. :thumbs:

hang on, before they said live feed was axed for financial reasons
 

now they're saying its down to viewing figures....which one is it, or is it either of those things?
