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.

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

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.

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.

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 Ł0.49 for a day pass, Ł1.99 for a weekly pass and Ł14.99 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

Fixed.

[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.

[JohnnyBB]

with the loss of live feed, raitings will slump too 1.2million, why don't the ****ers axe Aj And Rylan not our Live Feed.

[Pronshi]

Did no one see this coming?
Channel 5 purposely put the live feed against the soaps in order to give a reason for the axing.
Plus didn't someone on DS say the had a leaked email confirming the production team had done this from the start and also it was the make sure they could manipulate how the public would like.
In order to make money off people like Spedi etc.

It's a whole sham. Actually thinking about not watching Big Brother anymore. Don't have time for this BS anymore. If I wanna watch a fix and staged bull**** i'll watch X Factor.

[Rob!]

Poor Ben Frow. His email is going to break.

[Scream]

what's bens email?

[ThisIsNickkk]

I think it might be a bit late to email Ben now? It's one thing petitioning for it to return and it gets extended, it's another to complain once it has been axed... it won't be coming back now. They tried it and it back fired.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yes someone please post Bens email.

Don't send abuse coz it seems hes the only sensible one there fighting a bunch of muppets and listening to us fans.

Just make the suggestion of running it online for 2 hours instead of on 5*.

I was gonna be like, Ben we trusted you

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I just don't understand why we cant have 2 hours on the channel 5 website?

It's a fair compromise and would increase their web traffic. They even advertised their website after the show last night. They should just put 2 and 2 together - they really are thick as pig ****

[Jase.]

Oh, just **** off, Channel 5.

I'm sure they'll axe the regular BB next in favour of more CBB's

[Marsh.]

FGS, stop tweeting stupid abuse. You give the show and its fanbase even more of a bad name.
