'Noone' in TV terms is below the slot average. You get channels like Ocean Finance TV that clearly not many people watch, so people will brand it was "noone" even though someone will be

Last week Friends got 0.6m viewers on Sunday, BB Live is lucky to get even a quarter of that. Plus BB Live is more expensive, so Friends makes them a lot more money.

urgh i was hoping they'd bring back the 9-10 time slot for highlights :/

The funny thing is, is it reinforces the fact that C4 only pulled the live feed because noone was watching it.

Just because 20 people on a forum want to see it 24/7 (and they probs wouldn't even watch it) it doesn't justify putting it on for six hours during the day, when they can repeat shows that actually give them money.

15,000 according to the petition during BB10. Even if it was 0.... THEY NEED 24/7.... otherwise it is not BB... we are the only country in the world not to have one, and dont give me a shity reason such as "its because of financial problems" IT ISN'T. Its because C4 are so up themsevles that they just want to prove to the viewers that they are in charge, and mock our attempts to make the show more watchable. They dont give a **** about BB, and i hope jobs are lost all over the C4 studios... can only be saved by one thing... listening to viewers. Thats it, its not rocket science. Maybe for them, they are a bit on the "moderate retardation" side of the IQ range.

I can think of someone on the moderate retardation side of the IQ range and it isn't them!

Think about it, 15,000 people signing a petition for all day streaming when they wouldn't even watch it 24/7?! Of course it's about financial problems, have you seen the current state of channel four? They physically cannot justify putting on a programme that would get LESS than 15,000 viewers.

Stop being so childish and actually look at it for what it is, other than what you'd like it to be.

Its not being childish, its being fair. More people during BB10 were speaking of the loss of Live Feed other than the show, so it obviously meant something. Just because you dont believe something, doesnt mean it's wrong. The world doesnt revolve around you and your opinions, Im afraid.
This is just fair for the viewers in our LAST series. Maybe C4 should grow some balls perhaps. They may as well make an effort instead of recomissioning shows such as Coach Trip which gets half the audience of BB.

The world doesn't revolve around BB fans either, more people clearly want to watch Friends than BB Live, so Channel 4/E4 show it and make more money. TV companies aren't people pleasers, they're businesses and have to make as much money as possible.

Maybe they do make more money putting Friends on? But BB used to bring in 4 million viewers for the nightly shows in series 9.. and in series 10 it plummeted down to 2 million!! Why? Because of hardly any live feed! Yes.. most will NOT be watching it 24 7 but most of us would probs watch it late at night, while in the day time whoever stays at home will watch it. They should bring back the red button, that way they can still have friends on at 5pm on e4!

What about CBB which had no streaming and wasn't far behind BB9 in terms of viewers?

It was only on for 3 weeks celeb bb, I think more people like to watch that because it does not drag on but I thought it only got like 3 million in the final?

You aren't being fair, you're being ridiculous and selfish. Who cares if it's the LAST series? It's the last series because NOBODY is watching anymore. Why should they put live feed on when hardly anyone watches it, esp when C4 itself is struggling in terms of money? Oh, and Coach Trip also costs less than half to make, than BB does. Seriously.

You can't justify your last ridiculous post IMO.

I understand that nothing can be said for you to understand where im coming from, so for my sake, I say thread closed out of boredom.

It's not even just a difference of opinion though, the fact that you can't understand that C4 can't justify putting live feed on when hardly anyone is watching, just for the fans when they have NO money speaks volumes really.

Ok.
I mean, even for a treat for the fans? Doesnt take much to give us LF, there are so many shows on C4 that are doing dreadfully, cant they axe them just for 1 MORE YEAR of Live Feed.
Thats all, 1 more year of LF, its the least they can do. If they are in **** for money, theres plenty of shows waiting to be axed.

[Tom]

So they should axe shows that make them more money because they get more viewers, just to add a crap stream almost noone watches?

channel 4 used the friends excuse during BB10 , that excuse has been blown out of the water.
the channel 4 press office have done their best to hide the ratings for the live feed during the day.by giving out the ratings for midnight - 3am for BB9 ..etc
even the head of E4 gave different figures for the daily overall ratings.
never a straight answer from channel 4 just spin
they have something to hide , a familiar story and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

But the thing is, there aren't many fans left. If it was say 4 million viewers per night then it'd still be there, but the fact is people are turning off, so how can they justify hours and hours of live feed that is going to give them anything in return?! They replaced the live feed with repeats because the repeats are doing better, face it, if live feed was bringing in enough money and ratings, then it'd be there.

At least Big Brother live has somthing new everyday unlike Friends episodes which are probley on 30 times a day.

I would actually like to see the ratings for Friends compared to Big Brother and then see why their on crack.

Big Brother is only on for 13 weeks in the Summer and 3 weeks in January..
ONLY 3 Weeks, yet they still cant even give up precious time for reruns of Friends!

And 12 - 1 PM is so ****, because most of us be in School/Work.

And Night is obviously **** as you pointed out because We and Them are in bed, plus even if we wanted to stay up half the night watching it their was ever a party or somthing, we couldnt stay up because we would have School/Work the next day.


Im really annoyed that BB is such a great show yet its ran by the most selfish pricks alive.

Give it to a channel that actually cares about its viewers..

I agree with you.
****ers !
