Another scheduling fail by Channel 5. BB final up against Coronation street
 

They have literally put the BB final up against Coronation Street with its massive Carl fire storyline climax to make way for Celebrity Spa.

Who the hell is in charge of scheduling at Channel 5?

Over confident, over ambitious or incompetence?

It's just a preview isn't it? A needless program.

It's only a half hour "countdown" show. The main one doesn't start until 9.

What?

They will get less ratings with this time slot.

Seriously :rolleyes: clueless.

The average will be dragged down massively by this half hour.

Be interesting to see how high the +1 rating is.

As I allways say I don't want summer CBB to be massive as I would rather the normal BB be the main event but it annoys me that Channel 5 are so careless with the scheduling.

It happened with this years BB final to.

They decided to split the final in hope of gaining a hit with Under the dome which worked....For 1 night.

Now that show is losing viewers every week.

Theres 6 housemates to be evicted its the main event from 8:30.

I think you'll find...

"...Countdown. A look ahead to the Celebrity Big Brother Live Final, in which one of the famous housemates will be declared the winner."

I actually want to watch Coronation street, was getting tense.

I think you'll find voting lines will be open for that half hour slot which is when most people will be voting for the winner.

Yeah im gonna watch Corrie then atleast I can switch straight over to +1 so the BB final is all in 1 show instead of waiting for an hour.

Wait wait wait explain the times? I know the shows split but if I watch Corrie then you wait til 10 and watch the first hour then at 11 you go back to C5 to see the main show again?

Don't get petty you know what I mean.

Channel 5 put the first part of the CBB final up against a very big episode of Corrie, there are 6 housemates to be evicted so the 1st half hour will play a major factor voting wise on who wins.

I will be watching Corrie yeah then CBB at 9:30 on +1 then there will be a half hour wait to the 2nd part "live" instead of an hour meaning I don't need to sit through Celebrity Spa.

Scheduling fail.

Wasn't being petty... :conf:

What's the countdown thing at 8:30?

Oh yeah, actually im being retarded.

What the **** is the final countdown?

Surely its just a half hour highlights as would have been anyway.

Oh fgs what is this crap scheduling. I barely ever complain about BB but what has happened...

I will record Corrie.

I'll watch Corrie and then switch over at 9.00. They should have just started at 9.00, it's daft.

I'm watching corrie first. simples.

I didn't even know anything about this... wondered why they went straight to the evictions on the final :bored:
