Do you think Ch5 will let BB go because of it's "below average" ratings, only to suffer iun the long term, come 5th in it's slot every night and get sub 1m ratings for every single show except CSI? They NEED BB. BB makes them achieve ratings which place 3rd in it's slot. Without it, they will be the channel being whooped by a very **** Channel 4.

And on the advertisers side, BB has been huge this series for the demographic and has come out on top out of ALL channels. It has only been beaten by The Apprentice and The Voice.

BB has not boosted the channels share any major way.

Since BB came to Channel 5 in 2011 the overall share for the whole channel initially dropped.

Before BB

2007: 5.3%

2008: 4.6%

2009: 4.8%

2010: 4.5%

BB comes to Channel 5

2011: 4.4%

2012: 4.5%

2013: 4.0% so far.
