If Channel 4 got rid of BB at the moment they would strugle to fill the air time left by it and they certainly wouldn't manage to get the ratings BB gets every night.

For the Summer they would have to produce 93+ hours worth of prime time programming for the Channel 4 to start with.

Then theres the hole left by BBBM and BBLB on E4 although they'd probably just fill it with repeats of Friends.

All the Live Feed time on E4 would need filling too but they'd probably just put any old rubbish in it's place becuase most of the time it's on at ungodly hours.

Remember they can't put E4 music there, though because they have a seperate channel for it now.

And as much as I dislike Davina I doubt they will get rid of her because they probably can't be bothered finding someone else to fill the role (Look how poor there efforts were at finding BBBM presenters and the current BBLB presenters), plus they'll look at how the Ozzie version got cancelled after the presenter of that got sacked/left and it'll put them off.

As soon as Channel 4 find something to fill the space, with that will pull in regular ratings as high as BB, the show will be cancelled. I can't see this happening for a few years but eventually Channel 4 will find something and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a new Reality TV show.

Obviously if BB ratings drop really low so that they are lower than other programs on Channel 4 in that timeslot, they will pull the plug a lot quicker.
