BB without the traditional face and personality of Davina and Marcus cannot have the same appeal........CH5 is more likely to deplete BB's popularity and as such no other broadcaster including CH4 would touch it ever again.......

So what are FIVER and FIVEUSA?

Bearing in mind fiveusa actually kicks over to supercasino(uk) for a few hours overnight. In fact lets look at Saturday night on FiveUSA: US pap shows till 1AM then Supercasino till 4AM then the jewellery channel at 6AM sunday morning, reverting to USA shows at midday sunday.

FIVER simply kicks over to Teleshopping when they have nothing on. The owners simply have to compare the revenue received for rebro of teleshopping cahnnels against revenue from BB phonelines etc. (no competition if its done properly).

Channel 5 has the same ability to transmit the show with roughly the same hours as Channel 4/E4 did.
