Shame, they'll use this now as a reason to never give us regular LF again despite the problem being more the slot than anything. Not been able to see that much of it because of the time its on but just appreciated it being there if I ever did get the chance to watch, nice to just see the more normal everyday moments and conversations rather than purely the dramatic events that make the HL show

Presume we will still get it on Friday nights at least?

But regarding the LF. Pathetic. Why not move it? Why axe it altogether?

Im sorry but I think it will be the last one.

Advertisers are only interested in overnights ratings and the fact that the launches without +1 got under 2 million is very very unattractive.

Now with overnights being around 1.2/1.3 million and other Channel 5 programmes like CSI getting nearly 2 million some nights Big Brother just isn't performing well.

Why would they shell out more money on it next year when they aren't getting anything in return.

@channel5_tv @bbuk @BBUKLive ****ing clueless, axing lie feed already. **** you and your ****ty little channel. @Channel4 save us from them!

[fingers]

The poor camera work, discussed in another thread, just shows that Ch5 have no interest in, or commitment to, this show.

[jackc1806]

Tweet Channel 4 and beg for them to buy the show back.

[Ramsay]

Channel 4 were just as bad as 5 towards the end so i dont see much point in that

Patrick Mc Caffery ‏@Patrick_BBUK now
@endemoltv @channel5_tv @bbuk Worst Decision EVER.
JUST CHANGE THE TIME SLOT OF LIVE FEED! Would be a different story for Celebrity BB tho!

Josy has posted a new TiBB frontpage article.

Nightly Live Feed Axed.

Channel 5 have confirmed that the two hour live feed that airs nightly on 5* has been axed and will no longer be shown from July 6th.

More to follow...

Let us know what you think about this decision in the forum....

Disappointing but can't really blame Channel 5. They arent in this business to lose money. The live feed was getting about a 5th (being generous) of the viewership it needed to make sense for Channel 5. With such miniscule numbers, its very doubtful any amount of promotion or any time slot would have made much difference. They tried. The viewers did not respond. Unfortunately the BB hardcore enthusiasts who frequent this board do not represent the population as a whole, which in the end decides these things. Frankly, looking at the programme numbers for the main show, I'm more conerned whether BB itself will survive beyond next summer than I am about minimally viewed live feeds at this point.

Why start begging channel 4, they scrapped the show altogether never mind just the LF

This.

Channel 4 couldn't give a **** and they will no doubt be laughing up their sleeves.

daniel james lewis ‏@pontyboi 9s
@channel5_tv Whoever works on your scheduling needs firing. Just put LIVE FEED on at a less competitive time It gets 500k late night #bbuk

[jackc1806]

In response to one of their updates -

Jack ‏@Jack_BB14
@BBUKLive No one cares, give us LIVE FEED in a proper timeslot instead of axing it.

They have a contract until 2014 don't they? The overnights are the same as BB13, and higher than BB12. I don't think it will be axed if it stays at the same level as it is. BB13 actually went to around 1.1m overnights every night in the 2nd half of its run.

There is no worry.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

If late night live feed gets over 500k there is obvious interest so why have Channel 5 not just launched an online feed and charged Ł10 a seasonal pass?

I don't get it.

Surely they would make a profit?

[Kate!]

Bloody hell!

[Daffodil]

The problem is that Channel 5 don't seem to advertise the live feed. BB had been on a week before I realised that the live feed actually existed. I am sure if they mentioned the live feed at the end of BB or BBBOTS, more viewers would tune in.

Noone has seen this contract stating that they have to run the normal series.

Its all speculation.

I see no reason why they cant axe it and just run CBB.

Also 2014 could just be a January CBB and game over.

Who knows.

[Gstar]

They 100% did this on purpose, putting it at the worst time slot possible with next to no promotion

Possibly. But as long as it stays around the same as it is. It will be safe. The overnights have barely moved in the 10pm slot since the beginning which means its consistent. It basically got 1.4m last night (1.35m I think incl +1).

But I agree with the CBB opinions. I can imagine them focusing on all of the CBB aspect and leave BB to die.
