Ben Frow- Live Feed every night on 5*
 

A poster on DS emailed him (Jeff Ford's replacement) what will happen, and he stated that there will be Live Feed on 5* every night. I hope that's true, but depends how long for. Probably only for an hour. If it was from 11pm until the morning, and then a couple of hours in the afternoon, it would be as close as we can go I guess!

At least it's a step in the right direction :)

If it's true, I'm happyish, going in the right direction, would I like more? Obviously.

Still not enough. All or nothing I say. The live feed they've given us so far feels manipulated and it's always when an 'event' is going on.

If we get 8 hours overnight I will worship this man forever :love: this is a step in the right direction

One hour would be alright, but teasing.

Hang on though, I think we should take this with a pinch of salt for now because that poster has two posts and there's no screenshot of this email.

Guess it's something. I would LOVE for them to do it online. I would buy that. They would get a lot of money for it.

One thing to do; one of us should email Ben Frow and see what he replies. But ask politely I would say :p My email doesn't work at the moment :(

Yeah the online one was good, I got quite addicted to it LOL made a terrible series better.

I just hate all we get is bits and bats of live feed and they make out it's a big deal. Like when Brian used to pull a stupid face and go "It's back", it should just be a part of BB.

What is this dudes email?

I suppose if true, it's a step in the right direction.

Overnight feed would be great, but Id like to see a screenshot first.

Me too

Was just gunna post this. As said its a start and a step in the right direction. Hopefully woth emma at the helm we could go back to the glory days of davina esque live feed big brother

emailed

well it better the noughting

This. Especially with CBB11.

TBH guys I would urge you all to email him - I just did, unfortunately I didn't emphasize the importance of LONG Live Feed, as I didn't see this thread.

If anyone would like to see my email, here it is:



Still though, the more people flood this guys inbox with messages like that - only speaking about 24hr Live Feed, the better. Because I don't want them thinking they can shut us up by giving us 45 minutes of live streaming a night, that's pathetic. Plus I hate 5*, the quality is just horrendous. ew.

I'm getting abit picky now :laugh: But still.

Have we ever had 24 hour feed on a channel? I don't even think Channel 5 has red button capabilities :/

We had 24 Hour live feed on E4 I believe - through red button, and they can have the red button capabilities if they got it set up I suppose.

They could easily do it online though, I mean we see it in the BOTS Studio - all it would take is for them to literally put a wire in the right place, and bang. Online Live Feed.

True, although Channel 5 aren't the best with their online services.

Has Anyone Rang His Mobile.

:joker::joker::joker:

:laugh2:

well it didint sound like an oldish guy when i rang it then the guy sounded like a young packistan kid? i rang it again it went to 02 answer phone hahah.

:joker:

I just deleted the number :laugh2:

Forgot it was on there. :p

5* close at midnight so don't expect to much :bawling::bawling::bawling:

It's still in JohnnyBB's post quoting you :laugh:

I have no idea what's going on had a reply from the chap 4 days ago asked me to keep its contents quiet until C5 informed the press and I know a few others had the same reply.

how this is going to work no idea because Jeff ford said last year one of the key issues with no overnight feed was the fact C5 was in contract with the Casino people and 5* was under lease with overnight adverts.5* was the channel mentioned in the email

id love this tbh.

5* is such an underused Channel I doubt a 24hr feed will ever return. But giving people enough to at least see the various sides of HM's not just from a selective h/l show or very short vids via the website will help restore a connection between HM's and supporters and should Generate a lot more debate on the forums about houselife and interactions.

oath can you show us the email? i dont think ben.frow@channel5.com is even a real email.

Try not to spam guys, he's a busy man, if we annoy him, he'll be less inclined to listen. happybbfan on DS emailed him a few days ago and I emailed him this afternoon, there's more chance of a reply if you leave it at a slow, steady stream of requests than if we forum lobby. Send any further e-mails to channel 5, not Ben.

sid the person who picked the phone up was a kid, somones takeing the piss.

I'm referring to the requests for Ben's email address since. TIBB has a habbit of not thinking these through and bombarding people till their fed up of hearing about it and in no mood to sympathise with us. Jeff Ford used to reply personally to our questions about it, people cottoned on here and within weeks we were all being forwarded to some C5 bod because of people here all jumping on the band wagon, we've given him our opinion, now let's wait and see what he says.

Would the email be fact though? I mean why would anyone go to the effort of obtaining a Channel 5 styled email - just to take our complaints?

What is this fellow's job anyway, is he head of all programming?

Agree totally.
only 1 email I sent off got the reply and wont trouble the guy again.
He does seem very nice and replied quickly.

I just wonder if the person who posted on DS had the same message about keeping quiet until they inform the press of the setup?

its the main reason I didn't publish his email on Twitter because he did ask not to publish the email or its content and I didn't want to piss him off.
