I know that the confirmed schedules for TV Channel listings are always on Wednesdays, but don't they release the provisional schedules on Tuesdays?

If not then I must be mistaken. I'm just eager to find out the date of the Launch Show.

Yeah, pretty sure they are. But I think when the provisionals come out the slots on the 13th (or whenever the launch date actually is) could still be listed as 'TBA', so we may not get anything other than small hints I guess. At least I think that's right, someone can correct me if not.

Yeah, this evening. I'll post it when it's out.

It has I think been known to be, but usually (was both Channel 5 years) it shows up in the provisionals, moved in the finalised if anything big or similar is up against it (from a look at the unplaced programmes for that week, and given it's June, there shouldn't be, but there was last year hence the move from Thursday 7th to Tuesday 5th).

omg remember when CBB8's launch was moved out of the way of C4's film premiere (I think it was Twilight) after they tried to crush it on purpose, that was the ultimate win but then the billboards looked stupid with the wrong date LOL

I wonder if Big Brother shares some of the same viewers as Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model as that is due to premiere on 13th of June? That will most likely be the only competition on the night.
