Channel 4 had the power to release a 2 second advert of flowers falling - and people instantly right away clicked that it was Big Brother - Channel 4 could do that.
Channel 5 are lucky to even have any viewers considering all they do is screen old westerns on Sundays and Lorraine - so they can't get away with wasting weeks of marketing by because they're relying on small little silly teasers on their silly channel, to pull in any sort of hype.

The thing is, Channel 5 don't need to pull in the ratings Channel 4 did back in lets say 2006 or even 2010. We moaned last year because they didn't give us a C4 style advertising campaign which is why this year they are doing and it still doesn't seem to pull in viewers.
Channel 5's entertainment schedule pulls in enough viewers to make some form of revenue and money which is why the 1 Million+ viewers who watch Big Brother is enough - Because it's the highest rating show on the channel and has been since it moved in 2011. They can get away with wasting weeks on little teasers because they are actually working. There is a huge amount of interest on Twitter and Facebook if you look, people are intrigued.
Also, I thought Lorraine was shown on ITV?
