They brought it back for 2 hours every night at midnight. And that was the highest rated series on Channel 5. And 2 hours of live coverage when everyone was asking for the 24/7 feed on the internet (which is not subject to the same regulations as television) is rather poor. The viewers didn't let them down. They knew full well that putting 2 hours worth at 7 pm when the soaps are on was never going to help

That was my mistake saying producers above, it's apparently channel 5 that don't want a live feed.

I sort of understood it when Desmond owned Channel 5, because it was all just a vehicle for him. But I figured viacom might actually listen. I still think after this very badly performing year they will have to have a meeting about what to do next year to makes things better. When the presenter is now arguing for 24/7 live coverage, surely people should be asking for it in some sort of online format like just about every other BB in the world has.
