Also live feed adds some buzz around the show for the media including the internet which is definitely an important part of the show and is likely to only increase in importance.

Huge buzz for CBB without live feed ...

I saw in the papers that its going to Watch or Five so Sky could do a deal with Five or something

Maybe CBB is a little bit different as it's so shorter and contains celebs.

I miss LF 24/7 so much, but lets not turn this thread to a LF discussion, i really hope they bring it back for the last series.

Anyways, I reckon C5 should get it, even though its seen as a "tacky" channel. Most of their shows are flopping compared to other channels,a nd they have no flagship show (Flashforward was a hit though, especially in the first 3 weeks). They need a flagship show, they would want BB. They will put 100% effort in it because they need a show for the channel that pulls ratings in.

But now C4 will lose their own flagship show, they only have the cooking channels and Location, Location... they pull in the biggest viewers after BB.

But C5 have no show they are known for. They will desperately want to have a hit.

Even if it does come back it wont be the same

It would be good if FIVE did take on BB, with highlights etc on 5 itself and one of their subsidary channels, FIVER or FIVEUSA, being given over to live feed.

Given that its a UK channel owned and operated by FIVE showing all american shows, during the day it could show Live feed from within the house, it could revert to FIVEUSA for the evening shows it carries normally, then revert to live feed from the house about 11pm.

Its not an American Channel Patrick its a UK channel broadcasting to a largely UK based audience.

I didnt say it was American, I know it shows USA shows but it would still be stupid to put It on with all those American shows playing unless as you said, they could take the USA Shows off and put LF on and then at night go back to the USA Shows.

Sounds like ratings suicide. How does Sky 1 do for viewing figures anyway?
