Sorry, most programmes would get more than that from people accidently leaving their televisions on. I'm disappointed, but reality is reality.

They did it to shut the fans up and purposely put it up against the soaps just so we can look like we're in the wrong.

Now it's just gonna be "We gave it to you but nobody watched it" bullsh*t

Do you think Ch5 will let BB go because of it's "below average" ratings, only to suffer iun the long term, come 5th in it's slot every night and get sub 1m ratings for every single show except CSI? They NEED BB. BB makes them achieve ratings which place 3rd in it's slot. Without it, they will be the channel being whooped by a very **** Channel 4.

And on the advertisers side, BB has been huge this series for the demographic and has come out on top out of ALL channels. It has only been beaten by The Apprentice and The Voice.

BB has not boosted the channels share any major way.

Since BB came to Channel 5 in 2011 the overall share for the whole channel initially dropped.

Before BB

2007: 5.3%

2008: 4.6%

2009: 4.8%

2010: 4.5%

BB comes to Channel 5

2011: 4.4%

2012: 4.5%

2013: 4.0% so far.

Saw that coming a mile off, it was just a matter of time before they scrapped it again. I don't think they ever intended keeping it, it was just to pacify the fans for a while imo, and to draw the viewers in before they scrapped it again. So glad I am not bothering with this series at all.

[oathbreaker]

Considering Endemol make a lot of reality TV I think the UK Boss better face some reality he said a few weeks ago BBUK could go at least 50 years.
Not at this rate mate.
Some lousy HM's some very lazy production values and endemol should have made an online feed core of the contract with C5. Ratings are hardly dazzling and the last thing any show needs is angry fans, Ben Frow realised the need to keep the fans online and maybe bring some back.

I don't like corried/EE etc so the time was never a problem for me but asking fans of these soaps to watch the feed instead was never going to work.

That's as a whole. The shares are so low because of how ****e Ch5 do earlier on. Look at earlier ratings, shows on Ch5 get around 2% in the day. For Big Brother, which gets around 8%-9% in the 10pm slot... it is double the 2013 average. At the moment, only CSI and BB are thrashing the channels share and rating average. They will want to cling onto both CSI and BB with their lives.

Channel 4 have dropped hugely without BB.

At least BBUSA starts tonight so we won't have to put up with this bull**** for long- seriously considering ditching this year's BBUK if Gina goes.

True. Of course, with the US version which I grew up with, you're not really watching BB. You're watching Survivor-In-A-House with a large helping of The Bachelor. "Big Brother" isn't even a character on the US version, never heard from or referred to.

Yes but you would think there would be a much higher yearly share seeing as BB is on ALOT and is thrashing other channels in some timeslots?

Wouldn't that make sense?

Its about long term not just beating some shares on on other channels on some nights and long term nothings really changed for the channel share wise.

I know what your saying with the shows rating low in the daytime but that was the case before BB came to the channel and shares were actually higher back then.

They know they are out of order or they would not do that to fans.

That's the thing, that's how bad Ch5 is doing when BB/CSI is not airing. If you take out both of them out of 2013, the Ch4 overall share will go from 4.0% to like 3.2%. That is not BB performing badly, it isn't in terms of the channel. It's the channel itself performing badly. By the end of 2013, Channel 5 should be at around 4.3%. BB has only been on for 2 weeks.

Shares were better back then anyway, as was ratings. I remember Ugly Betty S1 got around 4.5m-5.0m on Channel 4 before BB7 evictions (or was it after?), 3 years later it was getting 1.5m.

So how do you explain these higher figures for Channel 5 before taking on Big Brother?

2007: 5.3%

2008: 4.6%

2009: 4.8%

2010: 4.5%

Higher figures.

According to BBXtra, they've replaced it with ...... drumroll please......

Umm I can't complain since I haven't been watching it anyway. Sucks for fans who did though.

Big Brother 2013: Live Feed AXED due to poor ratings, will be dropped from schedules next week



June 26th, 2013 by Nick Barnes.


BIG BROTHER: SECRETS & LIES EYE LOGO SUMMER 2013

Big Brother fans, it has happened again… Live Feed has been AXED by Channel 5 and will be removed from schedules as of next week.

Prior to Big Brother returning, it was confirmed that Live Feed would make a comeback on a bigger scale for the new series, but just three weeks into the current series the feed will be scrapped.




The Big Brother live feed currently airs daily on 5* from 7pm-9pm Monday through Saturday, but only airs between 8pm and 9pm on a Sunday evening.

However, due to poor ratings, it has today been revealed that Channel 5 have announced plans to scrap the live feed as of next week.

bigbrother_2013_sittingarea

A spokesperson confirmed: “Big Brother’s live streaming has been removed from the 5* schedule from next week.”

Since Big Brother returned earlier this month, the Live Feed has been put up against the soaps, which receive million of viewers each and with barely any promotion, it doesn’t take Einstein to work out this outcome was inevitable. Live Feed on 5* kicked off with around 60,000 viewers, but has since dropped to around the 35,000 mark.

Back in 2000 when the show launched on Channel 4, viewers had the opportunity to watch Live Feed 24 hours a day and even had the chance to change between different rooms. However, 24-hour feed was dropped not long after. Back in 2008, Channel 4′s red button Live Feed output was cut down due to dwindling ratings.

However, back in 2011, Channel 4 brought back the 24-hour Live Feed for the final series on the channel, in which 1,000 free passes were given out. Otherwise, it cost £0.49 for a day pass, £1.99 for a weekly pass and £14.99 for the whole series.

When Channel 5 took the reins, they confirmed that the 24-hour feed would not be making a return, but last year Live Feed was brought back following big events such as evictions or arrivals. After increasing complaints and petitioning from fans, Channel 5′s new Head of Programming, Ben Frow made the decision to increase the Live Feed output to 2 hours per night, and 1 hour on a Sunday, however, due to falling ratings, the feed has been axed without a second glance.

A full statement is set to be released later today from producers. The Big Brother nightly Live Feed will cease as of 6th July


It was on at the wrong time ,it should have been a later time in the evening imo

You can't find a normal channel (1-5) that has grown since then. The multichannels are (BBC Three, E4), every normal channel is going down. If Channel 5 shows that were on during 2007 aired now, it would get a much worse rating and a lower share.

[Tregard]

They think ratings will rise from cancelling it?

Jeff ford made some huge mistakes
I think Ben Frow will regret this.
personally I would have put it solely online informed people of the change
that its leaving 5* but will be online and told them another 2 hrs would be there after BOTS again online so people got some latenight feed also.

[oathbreaker]

With some really ****ty Housemates C5 really didn't need this grief
that's what makes me suspect the bigger bombshell of normal BB being axed isn't that far away.
