People were watching it. Just less. But then less people would be watching it when you have less viewers in general. Ford clearly stated they could have done it but chose instead to put money into other things. Those other things failed miserably. And the lack of the live coverage has left fans disappointed with the show ever since and they have struggled to get involved in it.

2) Of course they can keep hold of viewers without it, they've done it before.

No, they haven't. The viewing figures have been going down every year with the one exception of BB14. The series with the extra coverage.

The entire show being bollocks is pushing the viewers away, not simply a lack of live feed, which when provided has shown doesn't attract many viewers at all.

And I must repeat the same argument again to you... The pointless twists, the desperate stunts, the reliance this year on past housemates. All the things that make the show bollocks comes from one simple problem... No one can get to know the housemates anymore and the show lacks all of the immediacy it once had. As a result they feel they have to constantly interfere with it to a point that is offputting.
