CBB11 Will Do Wonders For 5
 

Since CBB10 ended, 5's performance has been pretty dire, getting all day viewing shares ranging from 2.5-3.5%. Yes, we all can say that it's Big Brother overkill, but it's the main show that gets them their figures. For example, these where the ratings for 5 last night:
Meanwhile, World's Strongest Man (665k/2.8%) and Cowboy Builders (582k/2.4%) could only muster meagre numbers on Channel 5.
They had a 2.4% average (+1= 0.2%). It's pretty clear to see that, even if figures are down on last January's CBB, they will be a needed boost. :pipe:

Big Brother and CBB are without a doubt two of Channel 5's highest rating shows.

Even **** on the side has better ratings then some of the shows on at peak time...

If they put some decent stuff on it might improve

the bb shows are helping c5

But the thing is if Ch 5 gave bb the full treatment, thrown in the live feed experience, and made the main show a more viewer friendly show, then it would easily achieve another couple of hundred thousand viewers.

Normal bb would get like around 2.1million
And Cbb probably 2.6mil or maybe nearer 3.

I do think they took major steps forwards but then a major step back
CBB8<CBB9
BB12<BB13

But then they ruined their progress with CBB10

As much as it seems like overkill, BB is definitely C5's breadwinner, so it would serve them well to treat it as such.

A shame they go for quantity over quality.

they need it to be an big channel

Honestly, from a business perspective, I really can't blame them.

Big brother would be a ratings winner on any channel. If it was on itv it would top 8 million a night

yeah it would

Not 8 million I don't think. 5 million? Perhaps....

Erm....yeah probs. But my point is it would be a success wherever it was.....apsrt from zee tv

Yeah I get what you mean, it would be a success for any channel despite the ratings varing.
