This is what they sent me

Dear Salv,

Thank you for your e-mail regarding the lack of red button streaming on thisyears' Celebrity Big Brother.
Last summer we found that rather than watching live streaming on red button,viewers much preferred watching more bite-size video clips from that day'saction.

During the series, there were almost 19 million clips viewed, a 58%increase. As this proved such a huge hit with fans, we've listened andresponded to how viewers now consume Big Brother and so have decided to gothis route this year. However, streaming will still be available on Channel 4 throughout the nightand also late night and in the afternoon on E4.
We will also be showing allthe other great shows that make up the Celebrity Big Brother experience,including seven nights of Celebrity Big Brother house action, Celebrity BigBrother's Little Brother, Celebrity Big Brother's Big Mouth and Diary RoomUncut.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us.

Regards, Veronica WayChannel 4 Viewer Enquiries

thats just what they put up on the website weeks ago,not very nice of them is it?

I've also written to them complaining am awaiting their reply.

So Channel 4 saying the BB fans don't want 24/7 live feed? LOL!

The choice should be there at all times, even more so in todays multimedia world, sounds like Channel 4 have some problems.

They're never gonna bring it back this series. It is more than likely gonna be back for BB10. Also, I think everyone gets the same response to complaints about the live feed.

Live feed on E4 gone!
Live feed on the net gone!
E4 multi screen choice gone!
..... Freedom of choice gone!
Channel 4 in 2002 was more forward thinking than it is today, could be sign of the times.

It is like saying we want to view it on Black and White.

Endemol will say what they want
meanwhile they have saved big money
by not having the full staff.

Viewers do not write in
and say we do not need Live Feed.
They should do a Honest Vote.


Makes me wonder what will happen on this years Big Brother?

I complained yesterday about the lack of clips on the website (around 12.30pm there was absolutely nothing apart from clips from the launch show) - and all I got was the bog standard reply about the live feed.

Yeah but to be fair, that was at the peak of BB's popularity.

True, it's just dying a slow painfull death, or becoming a show that itv would spit out.
