Default Bellend Frow: I can breathe so much more easily without Big Brother in the schedule


I mean seriously, this guy is the definition of delusion. Yes, you WILL be down on 16-34s because all C5 has got now is Jane McDonald, a bunch of railroad documentaries and brainless reality shows that nobody cares about!!

If there was an award for the "Worst TV Channel Controller", he would win hands down. Ben Frow can't even run a freaking bath, let alone a TV channel!! Selfishly axing his channel's most popular show and replacing it with mind-numbing tripe that nobody will watch or care about. No self-respecting channel controller would ever do that, unless they've got an IQ of a potato!

I mean he’s not wrong but also like if he actually took care of big brother it wouldn’t have been a massive waste of money?

No clue whatsoever, he even makes the likes of Donald Trump and Theresa May look like decent, competent leaders.

Surely he must be living in his own fantasy dreamland. If/when Channel 5 end up losing viewers and/or going bankrupt, it will be all his fault and basically, it will be karma for axing Big Brother.

But again, that was his problem. If he invested properly into the show, the price would be representative of it, but the state he left it in meant it wasn't efficient to run. It all comes full circle.

Dunno how he thinks he can breath easily with a turtle neck collar that tight anyway.

The ratings started falling because he never treated the show or it's fans with respect, they changed it to fit their agenda not what people wanted. Forever changing the time the show came on was so bloody infuriating and shoving it to 11pm so fans would tune in to see some bollocks Love Island rip off.

I am so glad Channel 5 has lost viewers, it's what it deserves. Nothing good on the channel anyway unless you enjoy coffin dodgers going on holiday, endless Jane McDonald shows or watching people with money woes being humiliated.

Why are we even discussing this bellend? He's a tool and the 16-34 demo is massively down. Let him continue with that **** channel.

Nobody is pretending anything. It was stable on C5 and still their highest rated show with its lower figures. It is rare any show retains viewers like they seemed to want.

Fact is a lot of fans got sick of the manipulation, terrible casting and general disregard for quality.

And yet, despite it being such a dead show, it was the biggest thing C5 has ever and will ever have. Just shows what a joke the channel is.

I can honestly say, which was much the case before, except on odd,occasions.
I have not watched a single thing on channel 5 since BB ended.

I used to pick up things that were on before BBs time slot, plus what they showed in between BB and BBBOTS.

I never even look at what's on channel 5 now.
