Default Live feed not returning

Just got this e-mail from Channel 5

Date: 18th May 2012


Dear Dan

Thank you for your most recent enquiry regarding Big Brother.

There are no plans to provide a daily live feed online or on television this year. However, following the live feed programme transmitted during Celebrity Big Brother in January, we anticipate that a similar programme will be broadcast at certain times e.g. on eviction nights. Further information will be made available when the schedules are confirmed and we suggest keeping an eye on our website for updates.

Thank you for your interest in Channel 5.

Yours sincerely


Ian

Although it doesn't rule out the live feed as a whole, it just says there's no plans for a daily one. We might still end up with one a couple of days a week or something. But even so it's still ridiculous they're being so reluctant about it.

Hopefully the 5* show will get good ratings again, they'll be more likely to give us more.

My angry e-mail back lol

In reference to your recent email (ref: VA/946103/IK)


So even after 1 million people tuning into the live feed for 1 hour in January proving that there is demand for it you're still not bringing it back full time?


It's embaressing that the United Kingdom is the only BB in the world not to have a live feed.


Why is there no plans for bringing it back because the social network replacement hasn't worked seeing as we got like 3 videos a day and had to sit through adverts to even watch them. You must be getting so many angry e-mails from fans in regards to this?


The only reason i can see for not bringing the feed back is so you can have total control of manipulating editing to make the show more entertaining than real which is not what the fans want.


Good luck with this years regular series because i last years wasn't exactly a ratings hit (1.7 million average is embaressing for BB) and this is due to lack of live feed, its what made BB unique from any other contrived "reality" show out there.


Thanks


Dan

Well dont come into the thread then?

Ignore it?

Most BB fans want it back so we will never stop "bitching" about bringing back something that makes BB so unique.

We are the only country in the world not to have it.

There's never been any indication that they were going to bring it back on a more permanent basis, and I doubt we will ever get it back.

A whinging email from a disgruntled fan isn't going to change their minds.

They must have recieved hundreds of emails!

Fair enough you dont like it but it doesnt stop us who are passionate about the show trying so dont call me a whinger. If you're bored about us talking about it then why dont you just not talk about it and ignore these threads?

It's a bit difficult on any UK Big Brother Forum to avoid the live-feed whingers because every single thread that tries to be positive about Ch5's version of the show will almost immediately be soiled by the whingers.

And seeing as Ch5 have signed up for two more years of the show recently, they're clearly happy with how it's turning out for them, even without live feed. So a few hundred emails probably aren't going to make a tad of difference.

If it comes back, fine. But as it doesn't appear to be, then you either stop watching or just accept it as it is. Endless whingeing just gets people nowhere and is just tiresome to read about.

People keep saying that the lack of activity on Big Brother forums is down to reducing viewers. I think it's because people just give up talking about it because of the subject constantly changing to flippin' live feed every single thread.

No actually its because theres no ****ing live feed that we have nothing to talk about because we have no idea whats going on in the house apart from like 3 1 minute videos from the BB website which even then we have to sit through adverts just to view them.

Thats why the forum is dead.

You will never win this argument.

Most of us want live feed back and if you dont wanna hear me ****ing whinging then dont come into the thread or block my post its simple.

Its a forum and i will have my say.

Ive been really supportive of Channel 5 BB12 was one of the best in ages but lacked something without live feed because we couldnt really get to know the housemates as much as previous years and their advertising and effort put into the house is amazing it just seems lazy that there no lf.

The only reason i can think not to have it is so they can manipulate the editing and make it more "entertaining" than real.

What are you contributing?

I made a thread informing everyone i had recieved an email from Channel 5 and you complain that im whinging but you're just whinging about me whinging so you're just as bad.

I have a reason to be pissed off, you can just leave the thread or ignore it and maybe it wouldnt bother you then?
