They are also other potential Intrests from other channels so they might want the show

YAS.

It'd fit into ITV2's schedule really well, since they air Love Island during Summer, they could put BB on during Autumn-Winter. And honestly, they'd treat the show a lot better than Channel 5 has.

If this is true, and they are interested in having the BB format, Endemol should definitely take the opportunity.

ITV2, CBB in January, Love Island June-July, BB August-October I'd be okay with this or maybe I'm getting ahead of myself

[Aaliyah]

Honestly this doesn't mean they'd take over Big Brother though, people are getting way ahead of themselves.

It would be great! And it means we don't have 2 CBB per year (which is just overkill)

[saiwong]

It would be interesting if BB moves to ITV2...

Big Brother started on Channel 4
then moved to Channel 5

now there is a possibility to be on ITV2 (i.e. channel 6)

that would be great, almost an entire year of good shows then

Paddypower is offering odds of 4/6 that BB will air on an ITV channel.

I would be worried ITV would try and morph BB moreso into Love Island than it already is, honestly :/

If anything, they’ll do the opposite. They’ll want to make sure BB is as far differentiated from Love Island so they don’t ruin each other, basically with overexposure of the same type of show. It might also be 1 of the reasons they actually take it, to avoid someone like Channel 4 taking it and putting it against Love Island.

ITV will make sure they aim BB towards a different market, such as a broader range of age demo’s, and focus on the reality and game side of things, while Love Island is aimed towards younger viewers with a focus on relationships etc

I'm over Davina tbh. Emma does a good job

If ITV snatches it I hope it's on ITV2.

ITV1 would turn into a family show like XF and IAC with all the censorship.

And I don't think they'll morph it into another Love Island when the only reason C5 did that (or tried to) is because BB aired the same time Love Island did and rated terribly in comparison.

If they're both on the same channel, they won't clash or feel the need to mimic LI because it's not on a rival channel.

but hopefully it does. They bought the company that owns the voice, then nabbed the voice a year later

But its not just ITV in the driver seat here, Endemol has a considerable amount of clout in negotiating for a suitor. There are multiple parties interested, and Endemol itself gets to choose who it sells to. Endemol are looking not just at dollar amounts but at synergies and future direction. The BB UK franchise is extremely important as well as beloved at Endemol. An agreement to air BB and CBB on ITV could help ITV secure a winning bid for Endemol, I suspect it is a huge part of their pitch and possibly even the current timing of their solid bid. Long live BB UK!!!'

I wonder how Love Island/Big Brother back to back (I.e on at the same time but ones on at 9PM and ones on at 10PM) would do bc you’ve got the love island girlies still watching

[Headie]

I’d be here for them getting the rights to it but only if they rest it for 5-10 years. No one will be interested in it atm regardless of what channel it’s on and the ratings would still be dire.

Perhaps if they brought it back when the Love Island interest/popularity starts to decline

[storybrooke]

This is so exciting, would love to see it on an ITV channel

[armand.kay]

big brother on ITVBee is coming girls

[Glenn.]

It needs a rest of at least 5yrs. Maybe even 10yrs.

that's way too long 2 yrs break would be perfect, also that is enough time to think of new ideas for the concept

[Vicky.]

Wouldn't ITV like..proper sanitize it? I cannot imagine them airing, for example, the Kinga thing

ITV though have so many channels that they could realistically put LF on. But any channel could do that really online, I don't know why c5 didn't...as people like me would pay a fee for a BBs worth of LF..kind of like how c4 did on the last series
