BB Israel has been on for 8 series (+2 VIP) on Channel 22 since 2008.
Lately the channel has been closed and the two companies that were broadcasting under that channel have each opened their own separate channel.
BB has been under the production of the "Keshet" company, and since Endemol has become last year the owner of the other company "Reshet" - BB has now switched owners.
In other words - it's the same as the C4 C5 change.
Last year it was like the farewell series, even though it was known that it's coming back the next year, but on a different channel.
Tonight, Channel 13 (Reshet) will launch its first series of BB under the new management.
To those who aren't familiar with BBIL - it's still huge in here and the biggest TV show ever since 2008.
They put a lot of money on production, the houses are always astonishing, the promos are a delight and we have Channel 26 for the LF 24/7.
The old house has been demolished to its core and a new one has been built.
No house pictures are ever being released before launch night.
It looks like we're going to copy the eye door from C5. Rumor has it that it's going to be more family friendly and that smoking will be absolutely BANNED.
So far we had two presenters for each series, and now there are going to be THREE (not sure how it's going to work):
The presenters of "Got Talent" - Comedians and Actors Offer Shechter and Asi Israelof - and a presenter from the biggest culture coverage show, Liron Weizman.
The series has had teasers featuring the well iconic theme song of BBIL - here are a few:
