I think it would struggle to get above 4.5million if the launch was on a Saturday but then again it could attract new or old viewers looking for entertainment on that Saturday when ITV and BBC1 give up until the autumn
I don't think the launch would work well enough to justify moving it to a Saturday. Sunday is the day which is perfect for the show to launch

As I said, Sunday CANNOT be used because the planning permission doesn't allow events on Sundays. The only way it would be possible would be without a crowd, which while workable for evictions, would never work for the launch.
Also, as I said, any such launch would be well promoted to ensure that those who are BB's target audience and still willing to watch the show are tuned in.
Also on the subject of family / adult viewing the launch show is on a delay these days so swearing can be censored. The kids in the families that tune in probably wouldn't watch past the launch show, but their parents might.
Even if they decide not to, the boost given by launching to the Saturday night family crowd would boost the series average and therefore help the show's case for being taken seriously by it's broadcaster if Channel 4 decide to keep it on.
