So Jan '11 Celeb Big Brother ITV1/2


ITV can do a deal for the Next tenure contract
and take a long time to set it up.
having talks with Endemol
is a Positive action.

Guys if you think of this. If Big Brother Went to itv they would Have a different website and different font, we are used to the same font and website every year so it would look daft been a different font and as for me. Big Brother is better on channel 4 who thinks this is right ?

If I was head of ITV I would big for BB. It would be a good replacement for News at Ten in the summer, it would get more viewers and more 16-34's. Also it could launch on BGT live show week boosting first week ratings and therefore it could make the show a ratings hit again.
With the right scheduling from ITV, the show could be as big as it was a few years ago

Mmmm... News at Ten doesn't need replacing in the summer.

There isn't a slot for Big Brother on ITV1, and it's too pricey for ITV2.

ITV1 aren't bothering investing too much in content to air after News at Ten now, while the 9pm slot will be occupied by The Bill and at least one new drama each week, plus a couple of cheap documentaries. Why shell out for an eviction show on Friday nights when they can put a 10-year old repeat of Frost on and get more viewers?

It may have been an attractive option last time the contract was up (though ultimately it's believed ITV made no formal bid for it), but why would they want to buy the show now when like it or not, it's pretty much dead.

^ News at Ten needs to go full stop, not just replacing in the summer

...because the font and website are the most important aspects of Big Brother...

It's been in use since Channel 4 relaunched in December 2004. The first series to use it was CBB3.

I love the Channel 4 font

Why would they have CBB on ITV in 2011 when BB will be on C4 in 2010?
